Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 25.5 Rebounds + Assists (-244)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Nuggets travel to Phoenix, we find ourselves targeting Nikola Jokic for an intriguing player prop: the under on his combined rebounds and assists, set at 25.5. While Jokic's stats often dazzle, there's a narrative shift in play. Over his last five games, he's averaged a solid 11.8 rebounds and 12 assists, but the road has proven to be a different story. In fact, when looking at recent away performances, his numbers dip significantly to an average of 15.2 rebounds and 10.6 assists. Against the Suns, Jokic has managed just 10 rebounds and 9.8 assists in his last away matchups. With Phoenix's defense tightening, it's likely he'll struggle to hit that lofty combined total. The odds suggest a 70.9% chance of this under hitting, making it a compelling play as the Nuggets face off in a hostile environment.

Neemias Queta (Boston Celtics) Under 9.5 Rebounds (-135)

As the Celtics gear up to face the Thunder, targeting Neemias Queta for under 9.5 rebounds feels like a savvy play. While Queta has shown flashes of potential, his recent performances at home tell a different story. Over the last three games in Boston, he's only hit the double-digit rebound mark once, averaging a modest 7.23, well below our threshold. Competing against the Thunder, who boast a versatile frontcourt, could further complicate his quest for boards. With a solid 57.5% implied probability reflecting the odds in our favor, it seems the stars are aligning for this under bet. Queta's role may not demand the same rebounding prowess against Oklahoma City, especially with their tendency to play small ball. This matchup sets the stage for our under bet to shine, keeping expectations realistic while we watch the game unfold.

Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) Under 43.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-114)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we set our sights on the upcoming showdown between the Spurs and Grizzlies, a keen look at Victor Wembanyama's recent performance suggests that taking the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists at 43.5 is a smart play. In his last five contests, he's averaged 23.8 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists, totaling about 38.2. When on the road, those numbers dip slightly, with his points averaging around 20. Against the Grizzlies, his historical stats show he often falls short, averaging just 21.4 points and 9.2 rebounds. Moreover, Wembanyama has hit the under in 10 of his last 11 away games. With the Grizzlies' defense tightening up at home, it's hard to envision him breaking through the 43.5 mark. This matchup might just keep him in check, making the under a compelling option
