We witnessed our last 2-game slate of the season last night, with the Timberwolves eliminating the Warriors. We move to today, where the Denver Nuggets play host and look to starve off elimination to the Oklahoma City Thunder. I’ve picked out my best NBA player prop bet for Thunder vs Nuggets, but make sure you also find out our NBA picks for that matchup as well as every game throughout the playoffs.
Find out our Thunder vs Nuggets best bet for tonight’s Game 6, with our experts on a 9-2-1 run!
Best NBA player prop bet: Nikola Jokic (DEN) over 7.5 assists (-128)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing
The daunting Thunder defense has Nikola Jokic struggling like we’ve never seen before. Before he erupted in Game 5 for 44 points, Jokic shot 2-18 from three-point range and 15-47 from the field. His teammates haven’t helped in the slightest. In the 4th quarter of their Game 5 loss, Jokic scored 13 of the Nuggets’ 19 points, while his teammates shot 1-15, most of which came off Jokic’s passes. His teammates converted just 5 of 20 assist opportunities from Jokic. We’ll bank on positive regression from his teammates at home as they look to keep Denver’s season alive.
