Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 24.5 Rebounds + Assists (-118)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets gear up to face the San Antonio Spurs, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but a closer look at the stats suggests taking the under on his combined rebounds and assists at 24.5 might be the savvy play. At home, Jokic has averaged 14.6 rebounds and 12.4 assists over his last five games, but those numbers dip when faced with the Spurs. Historically, he's registered just 12 rebounds and 8.8 assists against them at home, falling short of the mark. The Nuggets have been solid, but Jokic's recent hit rate at home is only 55%, hitting the under in five of his last eleven outings. Given the Spurs' defensive schemes targeting him, it feels like a night where he might just take a step back. All things considered, the under looks enticing in this matchup.

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

As the Nuggets prepare to take on the Spurs at home, it's intriguing to consider Nikola Jokic's assists prop, particularly the under on 10.5. Now, don't get me wrong-Jokic is a maestro on the court, averaging a whopping 13.6 assists over his last five outings. However, there's a catch. When he faces the Spurs, his assist numbers dip to an average of 10.6, and even more starkly to 8.8 when playing in Denver. With San Antonio notorious for their defensive schemes that often neutralize opposing playmakers, it's reasonable to expect Jokic's distribution to take a hit. The stats suggest he might hover around 9 assists tonight, which aligns perfectly with the under bet. Given the context and recent trends, this could be a calculated wager that plays into the Spurs' defensive tactics.

As the San Antonio Spurs prepare to face the Denver Nuggets, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama, but betting on him to go over 40.5 points and rebounds might be a gamble. While Wembanyama has been a standout, averaging 30 points and 15.8 rebounds over his last five games, his numbers dip when he's on the road. Specifically, he's recorded about 25.4 points and 14.2 rebounds in away games recently-a far cry from the lofty total we're considering.The Nuggets are a formidable opponent, and Wembanyama's past matchups against them suggest he averages just 26.7 points and 14.7 rebounds when away, aligning with his performance trends. With a hit rate of just 12 of his last 19 games hitting the over, and 12 of 14 away games going under, it seems wiser to expect him to fall short of that 40.5 combined mark in this high-pressure
