Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 24.5 Rebounds + Assists (-115)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets gear up to host the San Antonio Spurs, all eyes are on Nikola Jokic, but betting the under on his combined rebounds and assists might be the savvy play here. In his last five home games, Jokic's averages dip to 14.6 rebounds and 12.4 assists, suggesting he's been more focused on scoring and less on distributing and cleaning the glass. Against the Spurs, he's historically pulled down around 12 boards and dished out just 8.8 assists at home. With a combined average falling well below the 24.5 mark, and considering he has only hit the over in 6 of his last 11 home games, it's clear that the matchup might not favor a big night in those categories. Expect Jokic to still shine, but perhaps not in the traditional rebounding and assisting roles we've come to admire. The under could be the smart move here.

As the San Antonio Spurs head into Denver, Luke Kornet presents an intriguing opportunity for savvy bettors. Despite averaging just 6.8 points and 5.6 rebounds in his last five games, Kornet's ability to step up in key matchups shouldn't be overlooked. His recent success against the Spurs, where he's averaging 5.2 points and 3 rebounds, suggests he's capable of more, especially considering his solid hit rate of 4 out of 5 in his last outings.Kornet has shown a knack for performing well on the road, hitting the Over in 3 of his last 4 away games. With an expected stat value nudging towards 13.08, this bet on the Over 9.5 feels right. The Nuggets' defense, while formidable, can be vulnerable inside, and Kornet has the potential to exploit that. This matchup could see him surpass his recent averages, making this an enticing player prop bet.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Nuggets host the Spurs, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but betting on him to stay under 13.5 rebounds might be the savvy move. While Jokic has been a rebounding machine, averaging 17 boards over his last five games, the matchup against San Antonio presents a unique challenge. Historically, he's pulled down only about 12 rebounds per game against them at home, and the Spurs tend to play at a slower pace, which could limit his opportunities on the glass.Moreover, Jokic has hit this under in 4 of the last 11 home games, reflecting a trend that can't be ignored. With an expected rebound count of around 12.35, it seems the stars are aligning for this prop bet. If he finds himself distributing and orchestrating rather than crashing the boards, you might just see him fall short of that 13.5 mark.
