Best Nikola Jokic Player Props Bets vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves
As the Denver Nuggets host the Minnesota Timberwolves in a pivotal Western Conference showdown, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets’ centerpiece and MVP candidate. Jokic’s performance is expected to be a determining factor in this high-stakes matchup, especially with the Nuggets vying for the top seed in the West and Jokic battling through low back and hip pain. His ability to overcome these ailments and deliver his usual dominant performance could tilt the scales in Denver’s favor.
Nikola Jokic Over 26.5 Points (-115)
Nikola Jokic’s scoring ability has been a consistent force for the Denver Nuggets this season, with a season average of 26.06 points per game. Despite the physical ailments he’s been managing, Jokic has shown resilience and the capacity to perform at a high level, particularly in crucial matchups like the upcoming game against the Timberwolves. Over the last ten games, Jokic has averaged 26.8 points, slightly above the line set for this prop, indicating a trend that favors the over. Moreover, in the context of the Nuggets’ offensive needs and Jokic’s role as the primary scorer, especially with Jamal Murray’s status uncertain due to injury, Jokic is likely to assume an even greater scoring load, enhancing the likelihood of the over hitting on this prop.
Nikola Jokic Over 1.5 Steals (+105)
While Nikola Jokic is not primarily known for his defensive prowess, his ability to read the game and make timely interventions has resulted in a respectable average of 1.29 steals per game this season. His recent form suggests an uptick in this aspect of his game, with an average of 1.8 steals over the last ten games, indicating a sharp awareness and active hands on defense. The matchup against the Timberwolves, a team that has been dealing with its own injury concerns and may rely more heavily on their starters, presents Jokic with opportunities to disrupt passing lanes and contribute defensively. Given his recent performance and the game’s high stakes, it’s reasonable to expect Jokic to be particularly engaged on the defensive end, making the over on steals an attractive pick.
