Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the San Antonio Spurs head into Denver, Luke Kornet presents an intriguing opportunity for savvy bettors. Despite averaging just 6.8 points and 5.6 rebounds in his last five games, Kornet's ability to step up in key matchups shouldn't be overlooked. His recent success against the Spurs, where he's averaging 5.2 points and 3 rebounds, suggests he's capable of more, especially considering his solid hit rate of 4 out of 5 in his last outings.Kornet has shown a knack for performing well on the road, hitting the Over in 3 of his last 4 away games. With an expected stat value nudging towards 13.08, this bet on the Over 9.5 feels right. The Nuggets' defense, while formidable, can be vulnerable inside, and Kornet has the potential to exploit that. This matchup could see him surpass his recent averages, making this an enticing player prop bet.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Victor Wembanyama steps onto the court against the Denver Nuggets, the spotlight is on his three-point shooting, but the smart play here is to bet the under on 2.5 made threes. Sure, Wemby has dazzled from beyond the arc, averaging 2.8 threes against the Nuggets in their previous meetings. However, his recent form tells a different story. Over the last five games, he's only sinking 1.4 threes per game overall, and that drops to just 1.2 when playing away. The Nuggets' defense is no joke; they're adept at closing out shooters, which could limit Wembanyama's attempts. Plus, he's hit the under in 14 straight away games, a trend that's hard to ignore. With an expected stat value of just 1.86 for this game, the odds point to a quiet night from downtown for the rookie. It's a perfect time to capitalize on this

Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 13.5 Rebounds (-125)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Nuggets host the Spurs, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but betting on him to stay under 13.5 rebounds might be the savvy move. While Jokic has been a rebounding machine, averaging 17 boards over his last five games, the matchup against San Antonio presents a unique challenge. Historically, he's pulled down only about 12 rebounds per game against them at home, and the Spurs tend to play at a slower pace, which could limit his opportunities on the glass.Moreover, Jokic has hit this under in 4 of the last 11 home games, reflecting a trend that can't be ignored. With an expected rebound count of around 12.35, it seems the stars are aligning for this prop bet. If he finds himself distributing and orchestrating rather than crashing the boards, you might just see him fall short of that 13.5 mark.
