The Denver Nuggets play the second of back to back games in New York today at 1:40 PM. The Nuggets were dominated in the 4th quarter by the Knicks and have lost two of three games on this road trip. The Nets controlled the Nuggets in Denver last week, and a wise betting move would be to avoid the straight bets. Denver’s inconsistent play is currently not reliable.
PROPS
PROP OF THE DAY: Nikola Jokic OVER 12.5 Rebounds (-115)
Jokic’s Rebounds have taken a dip as of late. The All-Star center has failed to grab 11 or more boards in his last three games. However, he did grab 20 rebounds against the Nets last week, and Brooklyn allows 45.33 rebounds per game against their opponents. Jokic should be in line for a good rebounding day.
Michael Porter Jr. (MPJ) OVER 2.5 Threes (-115)
Although it is not the automatic winner it was in February and early March, MPJ is back to shooting on the perimeter more. He made three in the game yesterday, and three against the Nets last week. Even in back to back games MPJ’s minutes should not go down, allowing for at least 7 attempts behind the arc. Play this bet with confidence.
Spencer Dinwiddie OVER 18.5 Points (-115)
Dinwiddie has gone under this point total in his last three games, including against the Nuggets last week. However, he was very aggressive in that game and had numerous open looks. He is quicker than the Nuggets guards, and should get this line on his home court.
Same Game Parlay (SGP)
Dinwiddie 18+ Points, MPJ 3+ Threes made, Jokic 12+ Rebounds (+280)
The Same Game Parlay option could serve well. The odds drop a little, but spending 1 unit as opposed to three is also wise. The SGP also benefits from the loss of the hook on Dinwiddie and Jokic’s props.
