💰 Rockets vs. Nuggets best bet
Search the best NBA player prop odds for any team or player across every market from legal sportsbooks in your area.
Kevin Durant Over 24.5 points (-104) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Durant has scored 25-plus points in four of his last six games. Through five games in December, he's averaging 25.4 points on 50% shooting from the field and 42.9% from 3-point range.
The last time Durant failed to score 25-plus was against the Nuggets on Nov. 21. However, he shot just 5-of-15 from the field, including 1-of-5 from beyond the arc - it’s unlikely he shoots that poorly again on Monday.
DraftKings’ -104 odds for Durant to score 25-plus points are the best available and carry an implied probability of 50.98%. A $10 winning ticket would profit $9.62.

Nikola Jokic Over 9.5 assists (-122) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jokic has recorded 10-plus assists in six of his last eight games.
While he had just eight assists in a road win over the Sacramento Kings on Thursday, he played only 29 minutes, as the Nuggets were leading by 28 points after three quarters. With the Nuggets favored by just 1.5 points on Monday, it’s very unlikely this game will be a blowout, meaning Jokic should play enough minutes to cash this prop.
The best odds available are Over 9.5 assists (-122) at FanDuel. These odds carry an implied probability of 54.95%, with a $10 winning bet profiting $8.20.

Alperen Sengun Over 20.5 points (-120) ⭐⭐⭐
Sengun has been trending upward as a scorer lately, cashing this prop in four straight games.
The fifth-year center is averaging 27 points through three December games. He’s shooting 52.5% from the field in that span on 20.3 field-goal attempts per game. He struggled the last time he faced Denver, scoring just 14 points on 6-of-14 shooting, but that game occurred during a slump in which he scored 18 or fewer in three straight.
BetMGM features the best odds available. These -120 odds for Sengun to score 21-plus carry an implied probability of 54.55%. A winning $10 ticket profits $8.33.
