Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 26.5 Rebounds + Assists (-294)

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 could be the night to bet against him. While the reigning MVP usually thrives, his road numbers against the Suns suggest a different story. Over his last five away games, he's averaged 10.6 assists and 15.2 rebounds - impressive, sure, but not enough to eclipse the hefty line of 26.5 when combined. Against Phoenix, those numbers dip even further, with only 9.8 assists and 10 rebounds in away matchups. The Suns have a solid defensive scheme that tends to limit Jokic's contributions, and with his recent trend showing he's hit the under in three of his last four games, it's hard to ignore the potential for him to fall short again. Expect Jokic to be impactful, but not in a way that breaches that lofty total tonight.

Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 11.5 Assists (-192)

As the Nuggets prepare for their clash with the Suns, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, especially in the assist department. While he's a triple-double threat every night, recent trends suggest he might struggle to hit the over on 11.5 assists against Phoenix. In his last five games, he averaged 12 assists overall, but on the road, that drops to about 10.6. Against the Suns specifically, he's been even less effective, averaging just 9.8 assists in their last encounters away from Denver. With the Suns' defense focused on limiting his playmaking, Jokic may find his distributing opportunities curtailed. Given his last three outings saw him go under this mark two out of three times, it's clear that the odds favor a tighter performance. Betting on Jokic to finish under 11.5 assists feels like a savvy play heading into this matchup.

As the Boston Celtics host the Oklahoma City Thunder, Neemias Queta presents an intriguing player prop for under 9.5 rebounds. While Queta has shown promise, his recent home performances reveal a trend that suggests he may struggle to hit the double-digit mark. In his last three games at TD Garden, he has only topped 9 boards twice, which doesn't inspire confidence for this matchup.The Celtics' frontcourt depth means Queta's minutes could be limited, especially against a Thunder team that can stretch the floor and keep the pace up. With an expected stat value of just 7.23, it's clear that hitting the over seems like a long shot. Add in the Celtics' defensive schemes that often funnel rebounds to guards, and it's looking like a solid opportunity to bet under 9.5 rebounds for Queta as he navigates what could be a challenging night on the glass.
