Over the last five games, he's been lighting it up with an average of over 31 points, showcasing his ability to dominate on the court. Playing at home, he's even more formidable, averaging nearly 29 points per game.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic gear up to face the Chicago Bulls, all eyes will be on Paolo Banchero. However, betting on him to score over 23.5 points might be a stretch. Despite his impressive scoring average of 26 against the Bulls in recent matchups, his away performance suggests a different story. Over his last five games, he's clocked in at just 19 points on average, and his numbers dip slightly on the road, where he's only managed 19.6 points per game.With the Bulls' defense tightening up, especially at home, Banchero could find it tough to eclipse that 23.5 mark. Notably, he's hit the under in six of his last seven games, and with the pressure of playing away, this might just be the perfect time to wager on him to fall short of that total. Trust the trends-Banchero's night might be quieter than expected.

Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Over 19.5 Points (-294)

When the Denver Nuggets take the court against the Oklahoma City Thunder, all eyes should be on Nikola Jokic to pile up the points. The reigning MVP has been a scoring machine lately, averaging a solid 25.8 points over his last five games, and an impressive 29.4 when playing at home. Against the Thunder, specifically, he's found a groove, putting up an average of 24 points in their recent showdowns. Jokic's home performance has been nothing short of spectacular, hitting the over in 7 of his last 8 games at Ball Arena. With an expected stat value soaring to nearly 30 points, it's clear that he thrives in front of his hometown fans. Given his track record of 9 hits in his last 11 games overall, betting on Jokic to exceed 19.5 points feels like a smart move. When he's hot, he's nearly unstoppable, and Saturday should be no different.
