Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 23.5 Rebounds + Assists (-102)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Nuggets face off against the Suns, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, but betting on him to stay under 23.5 combined rebounds and assists could be the smart move here. While Jokic has been a force, averaging 11.8 rebounds and 12 assists over his last five games, the road presents a different challenge. Historically, he's registered just 10 boards and around 9.8 assists when playing away against tough opponents like Phoenix.Moreover, Jokic has hit the under in three of his last four outings, and his recent numbers reflect a trend-averaging just 20.95 combined per game, well below our threshold. With the Suns' defense tightening up at home, it's reasonable to expect him to fall short of that lofty mark. This matchup may just be the perfect storm for the under bettors, making it a compelling play.

Khaman Maluach (Phoenix Suns) Under 4.5 Rebounds (-159)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Phoenix Suns gear up to face the Denver Nuggets, all eyes should be on Khaman Maluach's rebounding numbers. With his current line set at 4.5, the under looks enticing. Maluach has averaged just 3.8 rebounds over his last five games, and when we zoom in on home performance, that average ticks up to 5.2. However, against the Nuggets, his numbers tell a different story-he's pulled down just one board in their last five encounters and hasn't managed a single rebound at home against them. The Suns' depth means Maluach won't be asked to shoulder a heavy load on the glass, and with a hit rate of just 3 of 5 in home games against Denver, it's hard to envision him breaking through the 4.5 mark. Given the statistical trends and match-up dynamics, betting the under feels like a savvy play.

Grayson Allen is primed for a standout performance in the upcoming clash against the Denver Nuggets. Playing at home, he's been a different beast, averaging an impressive 20.4 points and 3 rebounds over his last five games in Phoenix. His recent form against the Nuggets also bodes well; he's scored an average of 15.8 points against them, with a notable uptick at home.With a hit rate of 11 out of his last 12 games at home, Allen clearly thrives in familiar surroundings. The numbers suggest he's not just going to scrape by; with an expected stat value of 19.61, it's reasonable to expect him to surpass the 16.5 mark comfortably. Given how he's consistently contributed to the scoreboard, targeting the Over feels like a smart move in this matchup. Buckle up, because Allen is set to light it up.
