Saturday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Nikola Jokic Over 52.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-105)
The Nuggets are playing inconsistently at the moment. They're 4-6 in their last ten games and haven't won back-to-back games in that span. The schedule was challenging, with the Nuggets facing Memphis, Golden State, New York, and Cleveland.
This matchup should not pose a challenge. They head to The District to face the 2-18 Wizards in the middle of a 16-game losing streak. It's not like they are catching horrible luck; Washington is last in offensive efficiency and second to last in defensive efficiency.
Jokic continues to add to his hall-of-fame resume as he's just surprised Magic Johnson with the most career triple-doubles (139). Do not be surprised if he grabs another one tonight against the Wizards, who are in the bottom three in points and rebounds allowed to centers, but when we're dealing with Jokic, you must include assists.
Karl-Anthony Towns Over 41.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)
The Knicks are starting to click and look like contenders in the Eastern Conference. The team is hot, having won nine of its last 11 games.
Getting Towns cost the team a lot, but it was well worth it. He led the team with 25.2 points and was second in the league in rebounds. He's had double-digit rebounds in all but two games this season and is facing the Pistons, who are in the bottom four in points and rebounds to centers.
Luka Doncic 30+ Points (-115)
The Mavericks are playing fantastic basketball. They have won six straight and ten of their last eleven. Their offense has been nearly unstoppable, and in that span, they have scored over 120 points in nine games.
Interestingly, Doncic has only been back for three of those games. He scored 30 points twice in that span and is coming off a triple-double. Now he's facing Detroit, which is 21st in defensive efficiency.
