Indiana Pacers vs Denver Nuggets: Nikola Jokic Under 48.5 Pts + Rebs + Asts (-114)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Nikola Jokic needs to score, grab rebounds, and dish out assists but tonight, we think he'll fall short of 48.5 combined. The Indiana Pacers have been pretty tough on opponents, allowing fewer rebounds than usual, which could limit Jokic's chances to rack up those numbers. Plus, they force turnovers at a decent rate, making it harder for him to get easy looks.
Although Jokic is an amazing player, he's facing a Pacers team that has let opponents attempt a lot of threes and grab some rebounds, but they also protect the paint well. The risk is that Jokic could have an off night, especially if he gets into foul trouble or if the game pace slows down. Overall, this looks like a smart pick for tonight.
