Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 13.5 Rebounds (-123)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets prepare to face the Portland Trail Blazers, the spotlight shines on Nikola Jokic, but not for the reasons you might expect. While Jokic's rebounding prowess is legendary, there's reason to believe he might fall short of the 13.5 mark tonight. In his last five games, he's averaged 15.2 boards, a solid number, but against the Blazers, he's pulled down an average of just 11.8 rebounds overall, and even at home, he's managed a modest 13.2. Given his current form, the Nuggets' offensive flow could limit his rebounding opportunities as well. The last 12 home games have seen him go under this line 8 times, and with an expected stat value of just 11.85, it feels like a perfect storm for the under. In a matchup that could see more scoring than rebounding, betting on Jokic to stay under 13.5 might just be the savvy
