As the Denver Nuggets gear up to face the Oklahoma City Thunder, all eyes should be on Jamal Murray's rebounding performance. With an average of 4.6 boards in his last five away games, he's shown a knack for stepping up when the Nuggets need him most on the road.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Denver Nuggets, all eyes will be on Chet Holmgren, but a closer look suggests betting the under on his assists at 2.5 might be the smart play. Over his last five games, Holmgren has averaged just 0.6 assists, and even more telling, at home, he drops to an average of 0.2. Against the Nuggets, he's managed only 0.6 assists lately, and in their previous home matchups, he's only managed 1.4 assists against them. With an impressive hit rate of 11 for 11 across his last games, Holmgren's current form is definitely leaning towards the under. The Thunder's game pace, combined with the Nuggets' defense, suggests that Holmgren might not be setting up teammates as much as fans hope. Taking the under here feels not just reasonable, but the smart play as this matchup unfolds.
