Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets hit the road to face the Oklahoma City Thunder this Saturday, our attention is squarely on Nikola Jokic and his expected rebounds + assists. While Jokic is indisputably a linchpin for the Nuggets, we're looking at him to clock in under 29.5 on this one. His last five games have seen him average 13.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists overall, and even when on the road, his numbers barely edge up to 12.2 rebounds and 6.4 assists. Against the Thunder specifically, his stats maintain a similar rhythm. Now, we're not undermining the Serbian's prowess, but the numbers don't lie. He's been consistent, yes, but not in a way that threatens this outcome. So, despite Jokic's unquestionable talent, the stats suggest keeping our expectations in check for this weekend's faceoff. Let's roll with the under on Jokic for this one, folks!

Jamal Murray (Denver Nuggets) Over 9.5 Points (-5000)

Jamal Murray is on fire, folks! He's been a scoring machine recently, averaging a whopping 22 points per game overall, and an impressive 19.4 on the road. The numbers don't lie - this man knows how to put the ball through the hoop, whether he's in Denver or out on the road. Now, he's set to face the Oklahoma City Thunder, an opponent that he's consistently dominated. In fact, he's been averaging 22 points against them, home or away. This is a guy who's hit the mark in 20 straight games, both home and away. So, putting our money on Murray to score over 9.5 points isn't just a bet - it's practically a sure thing! With an implied probability of 98.0%, the odds are heavily stacked in our favor. So let's power through and ride the Murray wave this Saturday!

Cason Wallace (Oklahoma City Thunder) Under 5.5 Assists (-1429)

Look, folks, I'm just going to come out and say it - Cason Wallace isn't going to hit over 5.5 assists in Saturday's big match between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver Nuggets. This isn't just a hunch; it's all in the numbers. Wallace's track record at home - an average of just one assist over the last five games - is far from promising. Even against the Nuggets, his assist count never rose above 4. And let's not forget, he's hit the under 5.5 mark in all of his last 11 games, home or away. Now, I'm not saying Wallace can't work magic on the court, but as a betting analyst, I've got to follow the stats. And the stats say, quite unequivocally, that betting under 5.5 on Wallace's assists is the smart play.
