Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 24.5 Rebounds + Assists (-114)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets prepare to take on the San Antonio Spurs, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but a bet on him going under 24.5 combined rebounds and assists could offer some intriguing value. While Jokic dazzles with an average of 17 rebounds and 13.6 assists over his last five games, the trends suggest a potential dip at home against the Spurs. He's averaged just 12 rebounds and 8.8 assists when facing them at home, well below that lofty total. The Nuggets have a mixed home hit rate in this regard, with Jokic clearing 24.5 only six times in his last 11 home games. Given the Spurs' defensive prowess and Jokic's recent performance, it seems prudent to expect him to be a bit more subdued this time around. A calculated bet here could pay off handsomely.

Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 10.5 Assists (+110)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets gear up to face the San Antonio Spurs at home, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic. While the reigning MVP has dazzled with an average of 13.6 assists over his last five games, the matchup against San Antonio tells a different story. Historically, Jokic's playmaking dips in these encounters, averaging just 8.8 assists at home against the Spurs. With the Nuggets likely to control the pace, it's plausible that Jokic's role shifts from orchestrator to scorer, especially with the Spurs struggling defensively against Denver's frontcourt. The expectation of 8.97 assists falls below the 10.5 line, presenting solid value for the under bet. Given the context and his recent numbers against this specific opponent, this prop bet offers a compelling opportunity to capitalize on a potential underperformance in assists from Jokic.

Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) Under 40.5 Points + Rebounds (-112)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Spurs gear up to face the Nuggets, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama, but backing him for over 40.5 combined points and rebounds might be a gamble. While Wembanyama has dazzled this season, his recent away performance tells a different story. Averaging just 25.4 points and 14.2 rebounds in his last five games on the road, he's been quieter away from home. Facing a solid Denver team, he's historically managed only about 26.7 points against them, and his overall hit rate shows he's gone under in 12 of his last 19 matchups. The Nuggets, with their robust defense, will make it tough for him to reach that lofty total, especially when you consider he's been held under the line in all 14 of his recent away games. It's a calculated move to lean towards the under on Wembanyama's points and rebounds this time around.
