His confidence is soaring, and so should your bets on him tonight.

Peyton Watson is primed for a standout performance against the Dallas Mavericks, and betting on him to exceed 7.5 points seems like a no-brainer. At home, he's been a revelation, averaging 19.2 points over his last five games, consistently lighting up the scoreboard. In fact, he hasn't just met the mark; he's hit this over in all 20 of his last games, showcasing an impressive ability to score when it counts.What's particularly noteworthy is his track record against the Mavericks, where he's averaged 11.2 points in their last encounters, and his home performances against them push that number even higher to 11.8. With the Nuggets needing every ounce of firepower in this matchup, Watson is likely to play a pivotal role. Given his current form and the stakes of the game, it's a compelling case for hitting that over on his points total.

Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 10.5 Assists (+100)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Denver Nuggets host the Dallas Mavericks, keep an eye on Nikola Jokic's assist total, especially with the line set at 10.5. While Jokic is known for his playmaking prowess, recent trends suggest he might fall short of that number. Over his last five games, he's averaged a solid 12.6 assists, but at home, that average dips to 11. Digging deeper, against the Mavericks, who play a slower pace and have tightened their defense, Jokic has only managed about 10.8 assists in their recent matchups at home. The Nuggets are likely to rely more on their scoring depth, which could limit Jokic's opportunities to dish out assists. With an expected stat value of just 9.37, it feels like a smart play to take the under. Sometimes, even the best need to adapt, and tonight, Jokic might just be a little less involved in the setup.
