Best Nikola Jokic Player Props Bets vs. the Memphis Grizzlies
The Denver Nuggets are set to host the Memphis Grizzlies in a highly anticipated matchup, with the spotlight shining on Nikola Jokic. The reigning MVP has been the cornerstone for the Nuggets, consistently delivering MVP-caliber performances. Despite the absence of key players like Aaron Gordon, Jokic’s versatility and ability to impact the game across multiple statistical categories make him the player to watch. His recent performances suggest he could be in for another big night, especially with the Nuggets leaning heavily on him in Gordon’s absence.
Nikola Jokic Over 12.5 Rebounds (-145)
Nikola Jokic has been a dominant force on the boards this season, averaging 12.35 rebounds per game, which is just under the line set at 12.5. However, with Aaron Gordon out due to injury, Jokic is likely to take on an even greater role in the paint, potentially increasing his rebounding opportunities. Furthermore, Jokic’s home performance has been particularly strong, with an average of 12.64 rebounds in home games, indicating that he thrives in the familiar setting of Ball Arena. The matchup against the Grizzlies, who have been dealing with their own injury woes, could see Jokic exploiting the gaps left by the absence of key Memphis players like Steven Adams, who is a strong rebounder for the Grizzlies.
Nikola Jokic Over 39.5 Points & Rebounds (-130)
Choosing the ‘Points & Rebounds’ prop for Nikola Jokic seems promising, especially considering his season averages and the context of the game. Jokic is averaging 26.35 points and 12.35 rebounds per game, which puts him just on the cusp of the 39.5 line for this prop. Given that Jokic has been known to step up in crucial games and with the Nuggets missing Aaron Gordon’s production, it’s likely that Jokic will be even more aggressive in scoring and rebounding to fill the void. Additionally, Jokic’s home performance average for points and rebounds combined is 41.0, which is above the prop line and suggests that he is more comfortable and productive in front of the home crowd. With the Nuggets relying on Jokic’s leadership and all-around play, it’s reasonable to expect him to exceed his averages in this matchup.
