Nikola Jokic Player Prop: Best Spurs-Nuggets Bet Today
If you want to have some fun, look at Nikola Jokic’s home and away splits. They’re mind-blowing. In seven home games this season, Jokic averages 31 points per game in front of the Nuggets faithful and drops down to 26 on the road. His field goal and free-throw attempts take a slight hit on the road. Luckily, Jokic will be playing at home tonight, where he has sured his points line of 30.5 in four of seven games.
The big test here is if the Spurs can keep this game close. FanDuel currently has the Spurs as 12.5-point underdogs, which will scare over bettors away. But if we focus on the Nuggets wins this season, Jokic tends to have great scoring games. He’s scored at least 31 points in five out of the Nuggets last seven wins, which includes him getting ejected 15 minutes in their last win, where he scored just 9 points.
The are near the middle of the league at defending centers, but it’s the points in the paint that the Spurs allow that intrigues me. They surrender the 12th-most points in the paint per game and the seventh most in their last three games. It’s tough to compare another center to Jokic, but Kings big man Domantas Sabonis, who has elite playmaking ability, scored 27 points a week ago.
You can find this player prop bet on all books at nearly the same odds. With Jamal Murray set to be sidelined again, I’m expecting another uptick in production for Jokic.
