Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 23.5 Rebounds + Assists (+100)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets gear up to face the Phoenix Suns, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but this might be a game where he falls short of expectations. On the road, Jokic has been solid but not spectacular, averaging 15.2 rebounds and 10.6 assists in his last five away games. When looking specifically at his matchups against Phoenix, he's averaged just 9.8 assists and 10 rebounds in their last five encounters, well below the 23.5 mark we're targeting here.While his overall recent performance shows potential, the Suns' defense has tightened up, making 23.5 seem like a stretch. With a hit rate of just 12 out of his last 20 games away, it's clear that Jokic might struggle to put up the combined numbers we need. Expect him to have a good game, but not quite good enough to cross that threshold.

Khaman Maluach (Phoenix Suns) Under 4.5 Rebounds (-159)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Phoenix Suns gear up to face the Denver Nuggets, keep a close eye on Khaman Maluach's rebounding tally. With the line set at 4.5, the stats suggest this is a ripe spot for the under. Maluach has averaged just 3.8 rebounds over his last five outings, and even more telling is his home performance-only managing 5.2 rebounds on average, which diminishes against Denver where he's pulled down just 1 board in their last five matchups. To make matters more compelling, he hasn't even reached the four-rebound mark at home against the Nuggets. With an overall hit rate of 75% in the last 12 games and a staggering 80% at home recently, the data leans heavily in favor of the under. As Maluach's role becomes more defined, it seems the boards won't be coming his way tonight. Grab the under for a smart play in this matchup.

Grayson Allen (Phoenix Suns) Over 16.5 Points + Rebounds (-108)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Grayson Allen is primed for a standout performance in tonight's clash against the Denver Nuggets, and we should definitely look at his points plus rebounds prop set at 16.5. Playing at home, Allen has been on fire, averaging 20.4 points and 3 rebounds over his last five games in Phoenix. He's not just any home player; he's been relentless, hitting the over in 11 of his last 12 games at home.Against the Nuggets, he's averaged 15.8 points and 5 rebounds in their recent matchups, and with his home court advantage, those numbers are only likely to rise. Given that he has cleared this line in 16 of his last 19 games overall, the trend is unmistakable. With an expected stat value of nearly 20, it feels like a smart play to back Allen to go over tonight.
