💰 Best Nuggets vs. Timberwolves player prop picks

⬆️ Nikola Jokic Over 11.5 rebounds (-127) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jokic has recorded 13 or more rebounds in each of his first two games this season.

Dating back to last season’s conference semifinals, the three-time NBA MVP has gone over this number in six of his last seven contests. While Jokic recorded just 10 rebounds the last time he faced the Timberwolves (April 1 in Minneapolis), he should have more opportunities to grab defensive boards tonight, as Minnesota is expected to struggle offensively without Anthony Edwards (hamstring).

DraftKings has the best odds at time of publish for Jokic to go Over 11.5 rebounds. These -127 odds carry an implied probability of 55.95%, with a winning $10 bet profiting $7.87. 

Looking for picks to parlay from the first half of today's Peacock doubleheader? Our Shane Jackson has three plays worth tailing in his Cavaliers vs. Pistons player props.  

⬆️ Julius Randle Over 23.5 points (+105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Julius Randle is averaging 25.3 points per game this season and should be the No. 1 option on offense with Edwards out today.

Randle has scored 26 or more points in consecutive games, including 31 in Sunday’s win over the Indiana Pacers, when Edwards was injured in the first quarter. Additionally, Randle has scored 25 or more points in his last two matchups against the Nuggets - even with Edwards taking 22 or more shots in each outing.

The +105 odds for Randle to go Over 23.5 points at BetMGM are the best odds at time of publish. These odds have an implied probability of 48.78%, and a winning $10 wager would profit $10.50. 

Jackson also features an Over points prop for another NBA player in his best NBA player props today.  

⬇️ Jamal Murray Under 21.5 points (-122) ⭐⭐⭐

Jamal Murray has gone over this number in each of his first two games this season. However, the Nuggets scored 131 or more points in both outings, while they are projected to score just 117.5 today at some of the best sports betting sites. 

The Timberwolves have several above-average wing defenders and allowed the fifth-fewest points per game last season (108.8). Mike Conley is expected to play more minutes tonight due to Edwards' absence, and his 109 defensive rating last season was lower than Edwards' (111.4). The last time Murray faced the Timberwolves (March 12 in Minneapolis), he scored just 12 points on 4-of-15 shooting.

BetRivers' -122 odds for Murray to go Under 21.5 points are the best available at time of publish. These -122 odds carry an implied probability of 54.95%, and a winning $10 bet would profit $8.20.
