As the Nuggets gear up to face the Spurs, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but this may be a prime opportunity to consider the under on his assists at 10.5.

As the Denver Nuggets gear up to face the San Antonio Spurs at home, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic and his rebounding numbers. While Jokic is known for his rebounding prowess, hitting the Under on 13.5 seems like the smart play here.

With the Spurs' defensive schemes limiting his opportunities on the glass, betting the Under seems both prudent and backed by solid recent trends.
