Best Nikola Jokic Player Props Bets vs. the Dallas Mavericks
As the Denver Nuggets prepare to host the Dallas Mavericks, all eyes are on Nikola Jokic, the versatile center who continues to be the linchpin for the reigning champions. Jokic’s multifaceted game has been instrumental in Denver’s success, and his performance will be critical in a matchup that pits him against a formidable Mavericks team led by Luka Doncic. With Denver aiming to bounce back from a narrow loss to Oklahoma City, Jokic’s ability to impact the game across multiple statistical categories will be key in this high-stakes Western Conference clash.
Nikola Jokic Over 10.5 Assists (+110)
Nikola Jokic’s playmaking abilities have been a cornerstone of the Nuggets’ offensive system, and his assists prop at 10.5 presents a valuable opportunity for the over to hit. Jokic has been dishing out an average of 9.54 assists per game this season, and while this is slightly below the line, his recent form suggests an uptick in distribution. Over the last 10 games, Jokic has averaged 10.6 assists, hitting the over 40% of the time. Moreover, the matchup against Dallas, a team that will be without several key players, could see Jokic taking on an even greater role in facilitating the offense, as the Nuggets look to exploit the Mavericks’ weakened lineup. With the potential for a high-scoring affair and Jokic’s history of stepping up in big games, the over on assists is a compelling pick.
Nikola Jokic Over 0.5 Three Pointers (-180)
Turning our attention to Jokic’s three-point shooting, the line is set at a conservative 0.5, making the over an attractive proposition. Jokic has been connecting from beyond the arc with a season average of 1.15 made three-pointers per game, comfortably surpassing the prop line. His performance from deep has been consistent, with an 80.77% season hit rate for making at least one three-pointer in a game. Additionally, Jokic’s recent form and the context of the game against Dallas, which could turn into a shootout with Luka Doncic on the other side, provide further rationale for expecting Jokic to hit at least one three-pointer. The Nuggets’ strategy often involves Jokic stretching the floor, and against a Mavericks team that may struggle to defend the perimeter without key players, Jokic’s chances of hitting the over on three-pointers are even more favorable.
