As the Denver Nuggets prepare to host the Portland Trail Blazers, all eyes should be on Peyton Watson to clear the 9.5 points and rebounds mark.

With a perfect hit rate in his last 20 games and an impressive 11 for 11 at home, it feels almost inevitable that he'll eclipse this modest line. The combination of his current form, the home court advantage, and the matchup makes the Over on Watson's points plus rebounds an enticing prospect.

Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 10.5 Assists (-125)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets gear up to face the Portland Trail Blazers at home, eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but betting on him to fall under 10.5 assists might be the savvy play. Sure, Jokic has dazzled with an average of 11.6 assists in his last five outings, yet the numbers tell a different story against the Blazers. In their recent matchups, he's averaged just 8.4 assists per game, and even at home, that figure barely jumps to 9.4. Given his recent trend of hitting under this mark two out of three times, and with a respectable home hit rate of 4 out of 7, it feels like the odds are in our favor. Jokic may still orchestrate the offense beautifully, but don't be surprised if he finds himself just shy of that double-digit assist threshold this time around.
