Nikola Jokic Player Prop: Best Bulls-Nuggets Bet Today
If you’re a “trends bettor,” you’ll love this pick. Even if you’re just a fan who likes betting overs on guys who stuff the stat sheet, you’ll also love this. Nikola Jokic is well-regarded as one of the best players in the league. His two MVP’s and NBA Finals MVP from last season signifies that. He also is one of the few players in the association who can get a triple-double any day of the week. A triple-double would go a long way for this player prop that Jokic has cashed in all three home games this season.
The prop we’re backing is Jokic Over 47.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists. Not only has he consistently cashed this at home, dating back to last season, but on back-to-backs as well. Last season, the Nuggets played nine games on the second leg of a back-to-back. Jokic cashed in eight of those games. When you filter that to home games, he was a perfect five for five.
Not much has changed from last season – especially from a big-man perspective for the Nuggets. He’s averaging over 33 minutes per game, which leads the Nuggets. Our fingers will be crossed that the Bulls, who are also coming off playing a game last night, can keep this game close. We are still determining if the Bulls will be sitting their star players. Zach LaVine is dealing with a back injury, but he looked marvelous last night. It would not surprise me to see the Bulls punt this game with the way their season has started.
The 8.5-point spread is a scary sight for bettors, but Jokic can hit this line in reduced minutes. He’s played at least eight minutes in the 4th quarter in four of six games and averaged upwards of seven minutes in the 4th quarter last season. Expect Jokic to have a big game against Bulls center Nikola Vuecvic, who has allowed centers this season to have big games against him. Jalen Duren, Myles Turner, and Dereck Lively II soared over their PRA line this season against the Bulls.
