Best bet: Nikola Jokic Over 21.5 points (-125 via BetMGM)

With news breaking that Jokic will reportedly return tonight, I’m betting the Over on 21.5 points. This line overreacts to the possibility of him being on a minutes restriction. Jokic is one of the most efficient players in the NBA, and he scored 23 or more points in 11 of 13 games in December before going down with a knee injury.

Additionally, Jokic has also cashed this prop in seven of his last 10 games against the Clippers, including the playoffs.

Nikola Jokic Over 9.5 rebounds (-102 via DraftKings)

If you’re looking to load up on Jokic props for his return tonight, the Over 9.5 on his rebounds is my second-best bet for the eight-time All-Star. Jokic cashed this prop in six of his previous 10 games before injuring his knee.

The Clippers rank 27th in offensive rebounds per game with just 9.6, so Jokic should have plenty of opportunities to rack up defensive boards. Besides, he’s also hit this prop in seven of his last 10 meetings with the Clippers.


⛏️ Will Nikola Jokic play tonight?

Jokic is expected to play tonight, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Jokic is averaging 29.6 points per game - tying his career high from last season - along with 12.2 rebounds and a career-best 11 assists through 32 games.
