Best Nikola Jokic Player Props Bets vs. the New Orleans Pelicans
As the Denver Nuggets prepare to face off against the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes are on Nikola Jokic, the reigning MVP who has been putting up near triple-double averages this season. Despite the Nuggets’ mixed performance on the road, Jokic’s consistent production has been a cornerstone for the team. His ability to impact the game across multiple statistical categories will be crucial in this matchup, especially with key players like Jamal Murray out with an injury.
Nikola Jokic Over 12.5 Rebounds (-120)
Nikola Jokic’s rebounding prop at 12.5 seems ripe for the over, considering his season average of 13.91 rebounds per game, which exceeds the line. His performance against the Pelicans specifically has been noteworthy, with an average of 14 rebounds in these matchups, indicating his ability to dominate the glass against this opponent. Furthermore, Jokic’s last five games have seen him pull down an impressive 16 rebounds on average, showcasing his current form and reinforcing the likelihood of him surpassing the 12.5 threshold once again. Additionally, the absence of Jamal Murray could result in more rebounding opportunities for Jokic, as the Nuggets will rely even more heavily on their star center to control the boards. The Pelicans have also been dealing with their own injury woes, which could affect their rebounding efficiency and allow Jokic to capitalize. With his proven track record and the current team dynamics, betting on Jokic to go over on rebounds is a strong choice.
Nikola Jokic Over 21.5 Rebounds & Assists (-130)
The ‘Rebounds & Assists’ prop for Nikola Jokic is set at 21.5, and there’s a strong case for the over here as well. Jokic’s season mean for this combined category stands at 22.27, slightly above the line, and his performance against the Pelicans historically has been even better, with an average of 26. This suggests that Jokic has a tendency to elevate his game when facing New Orleans, both in terms of cleaning up the glass and facilitating the offense. His last five games have seen him average 25.2 in rebounds and assists, indicating that he’s currently playing at a level that should comfortably see him exceed the prop line. The narrative also supports the over for this prop. With the Nuggets’ road record being less than stellar, they’ll be leaning on Jokic’s all-around game to secure a win. His playmaking will be especially critical without Murray’s scoring and ball-handling, potentially leading to an increase in assist numbers. Considering these factors, Jokic is expected to play a significant role in both rebounding and creating scoring opportunities, making the over a compelling pick for ‘Rebounds & Assists’.
