Nikola Jokic Over 0.5 Blocks (-195)

Nikola Jokic’s over on blocks is a compelling pick for several reasons. Statistically, Jokic has been performing well in this category, with a season average of 0.93 blocks per game, which is well above the line of 0.5. Moreover, his recent form suggests an upward trend, with an average of 1.3 blocks over the last 10 games and an even higher 1.6 blocks over the last 5 games, indicating that he is currently in a strong defensive rhythm. The matchup against Boston doesn’t feature a dominant inside force, which could give Jokic more opportunities to assert his presence in the paint and rack up blocks. Additionally, the over has hit in 8 out of the last 10 games, and with the Celtics’ dynamic offense, Jokic will be instrumental in providing defensive stops, which includes blocking shots.

Nikola Jokic Over 3.5 Turnovers (+110)

Choosing the over on Nikola Jokic’s turnovers might seem counterintuitive, but a closer look at the statistics justifies this pick. Jokic’s season average for turnovers is slightly below the line at 2.93, but his last 5 games show an average of 4.2 turnovers, indicating a recent trend towards higher turnover numbers. This increase could be attributed to the intense defensive pressure he faces as a key playmaker for the Nuggets, and the Celtics are known for their strong defensive schemes. Furthermore, the game’s high stakes and the Celtics’ ability to challenge passing lanes could lead to Jokic being more prone to turnovers. With the over hitting in 5 out of the last 10 games, and considering Jokic’s central role in the Nuggets’ offense, it’s reasonable to expect that he might exceed the turnover line in this matchup.
