Nuggets (5-9) to the over on the road - B2B

The Nuggets are on a back-to-back and it’s likely that Jamal Murray sits given his injury history. One player that has risen to the challenge and the increased Usage is Nikola Jokic. In games without Murray this season, Jokic sees his stats rise across the board with 29.6 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 10.5 assists per game. These numbers are partially skewed simply due to monster games in those individual stats but the output has been tremendous. I’d like to target his assists in this matchup against Nikola Vucevic. Over the last 3 seasons, Jokic is averaging a Triple Double against Vucevic across 4 games. The scoring is down, but he has grabbed 11.5 rebounds and dished 11.5 assists per game. Vucevic is not the best defender but he disrupts Jokic enough as a scoring threat that he can distribute to the rest of his teammates. Couple that with Murray potentially missing, and this sets up for a good opportunity for Jokic to dime.

Buckets Best Bets. Nuggets on a back to back, Bulls are scrappy, expecting at least Murray to sit.
