⬆️ Nikola Jokic player prop: Over 9.5 assists (-138) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

While Jokic hasn't been scoring as much recently - averaging just 21.3 points over his last three games - he has remained an elite distributor.

The three-time NBA MVP has recorded 10 or more assists in three consecutive contests, averaging 12 per game over that span. On a larger scale, he has hit this prop in 13 of 19 games this season.

The -138 odds at DraftKings for Jokic to record 10-plus assists are the best available. These odds imply a 57.98% probability, with a $10 winning bet yielding a $7.25 profit.

⬆️ Anthony Davis player prop: Over 19.5 points (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Davis is coming off a disappointing performance, scoring just 12 points against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, but I expect him to bounce back today.

While the Nuggets have the second-shortest odds to win the NBA Finals this season at +700, they are not a dominant defensive team. Denver ranks 18th in defensive efficiency, six spots behind the San Antonio Spurs (12th), who allowed Davis to score 22 points on Oct. 22 - with Victor Wembanyama playing.

Davis has surpassed this total in four of his six games this season. The -110 odds at BetMGM carry an implied probability of 52.38%, meaning a winning $10 bet would yield a $9.09 profit.

⬇️ Cooper Flagg player prop: Under 16.5 points (-102) ⭐⭐⭐

Cooper Flagg scored a season-high 35 points against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday, making it a good time to buy low on the Mavericks’ star rookie.

Flagg has failed to score 20 or more points in back-to-back games this season. In fact, he has reached 20-plus points five times (excluding Saturday) and has followed each of those performances by scoring 16 points or fewer in his next game.

The -102 odds at DraftKings carry an implied probability of 50.5%, with a $10 winning bet yielding a $9.80 profit.
