Luke Kornet (San Antonio Spurs) Over 9.5 Points + Rebounds (-112)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the San Antonio Spurs gear up to face the Denver Nuggets, Luke Kornet is a player to keep an eye on. While his recent averages of 6.8 points and 5.6 rebounds might seem modest, his performance against the Nuggets tells a different story. Kornet has hit the Over on points and rebounds in four out of his last five games, and he's been particularly effective on the road, hitting the mark three out of four times. Against Denver, he's averaged 5.2 points and 3 rebounds, but with the Nuggets' defense focused on limiting San Antonio's top scorers, Kornet could see increased opportunities. Given that his expected stat value hovers around 13, taking the Over 9.5 feels right. He's stepping into a game where he can make his mark, and with the Spurs needing every point and board, Kornet is poised to deliver.
Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 13.5 Rebounds (-120)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Denver Nuggets host the San Antonio Spurs, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but betting on him to fall under 13.5 rebounds could be a savvy move. Despite his phenomenal averages, Jokic's recent performances against the Spurs suggest a potential dip. Over his last five matchups with San Antonio, he's averaging just 12.6 boards, and at home, that number drops to 12. While he's been a rebounding powerhouse overall, with 17 boards in his last five games, the context matters. The Spurs play at a pace that might limit his opportunities on the glass. Plus, Jokic has hit this under in 4 of his last 5 matchups at home against San Antonio. With a model edge indicating he's expected to grab only around 12.35, the under feels like a well-calibrated bet worth considering this Saturday.
Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) Under 2.5 Threes Made (-143)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Spurs gear up to face the Denver Nuggets, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama, particularly when it comes to his three-point shooting. Although he's showcased flashes of brilliance, recent trends suggest he may struggle to hit the mark tonight. Wembanyama has averaged just 1.2 three-pointers on the road in his last five games, and historical matchups show he's only managed 2.7 threes in away games against Denver. With the Nuggets' solid perimeter defense, it's telling that he's only hit the over in 1 of his last 9 outings, and even then, it was just a narrow escape. The odds favor a lean towards the Under, especially considering his overall hit rate away from home stands at a perfect 14/14 for the Under. Tonight, it feels like a classic case of expecting him to fall short of that 2.5 mark.
