As the Denver Nuggets gear up to face the Portland Trail Blazers, keep an eye on Nikola Jokic's assists line, particularly if you're considering the under at 10.5. While Jokic has dazzled with an average of 11.6 assists over his last five games, his numbers against the Blazers tell a different story. Historically, he's averaged just 8.4 assists in their last five encounters, dropping to 9.4 when playing at home-a significant dip from his overall averages.The potential for him to distribute less could be heightened by the Trail Blazers' defensive schemes, which often prioritize limiting playmakers. With a home hit rate of only 57% in his last seven games, there's a compelling case to believe Jokic might just come in under that 10.5 mark. In a matchup where he might have to focus more on scoring than playmaking, this prop offers a tantalizing angle for savvy bettors.
