Best Nikola Jokic Player Props Bets vs. the New York Knicks

As the New York Knicks prepare to face the Denver Nuggets, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets’ centerpiece and a dominant force in the league. Jokic has been instrumental in Denver’s success this season, showcasing his versatile skill set and ability to impact the game across multiple statistical categories. With the Nuggets aiming to solidify their standing in the Western Conference and the Knicks missing key players due to injuries, Jokic’s performance will be critical in this high-stakes matchup.

Nikola Jokic Over 25.5 Points (-120)

Nikola Jokic’s scoring ability has been a consistent factor for the Nuggets this season, with a season average of 26.01 points per game, which is slightly above the line set at 25.5 points. Despite the last 10 games average being right on the line, Jokic has managed to exceed this mark in 6 out of those 10 games, indicating a strong likelihood of him hitting the over. Additionally, Jokic has historically performed well against the Knicks, with a mean of 31.0 points in previous encounters, suggesting that he steps up in this particular matchup. With the Knicks missing key defensive players like Mitchell Robinson and Julius Randle, Jokic will likely have more opportunities to score in the paint, further increasing the chances of an over on this prop.

Nikola Jokic Over 0.5 Three Pointers (-190)

While the prop table suggests an under pick for Jokic’s three-pointers, there’s a compelling case to be made for the over, especially considering Jokic’s ability to stretch the floor and his performance against the Knicks. Jokic has averaged 1.03 three-pointers per game this season, which is double the line set at 0.5. Moreover, against the Knicks, he has averaged 2.0 three-pointers per game, showing that he can capitalize on New York’s defense from beyond the arc. Given that the Knicks will be without OG Anunoby, a strong perimeter defender, Jokic may find more open looks from the three-point line. The over on this prop is also supported by Jokic’s recent form, as he has hit at least one three-pointer in 5 out of his last 10 games, aligning with his season-long proficiency from deep.
