Denver Nuggets vs. Miami Heat

Nikola Jokic Over 9.5 Assists (-115)

I’m going back to one of my favorite post All-Star Break player props with this one. In fact, I took it yesterday and the Joker cashed against Sacramento despite his squad blowing out the Kings.

Domantas Sabonis has historically been one of the most effective Jokic stoppers in the league, especially when it comes to limiting his playmaking. However, the two-time MVP had little trouble dealing with Domas last night, which is a testament to how well he’s seeing the floor — and executing — at the moment.

Since returning from the All-Star Break, Jokic has racked up at least 11 dimes in each of Denver’s four games. It’s also worth noting that the Nuggets are on the second night of a back-to-back as well, which could work in our favor if the big man decides to be a little more passive from a scoring standpoint.

Miami’s game plan against the Nuggets has typically been to encourage his scoring and limit his playmaking, but I’m not sure any team could truly force Jokic to abandon his personal plan of attack.

Right now, that plan is to get other guys involved, and I’m going to keep rolling with his assists until he fails to produce or the line drastically shifts.
