The Denver Nuggets are set to host the Indiana Pacers for the last home game of the regular season at Ball Arena. They look to add to the win column after a three-game losing streak. They currently sit at the fourth seed, right behind the Lakers. Despite some tough losses, they still come into this matchup as -6.5 favorites at home.
On the Pacers’ end, they will be missing Pascal Siakam in the lineup. This shifts the workload over to Tyrese Haliburton and the team to lock in and keep playing the fast pace game this Eastern third-seed team typically does.
Nikola Jokic over 9.5 assists (-115 on Bet365)
Overall, I’m looking for the Nuggets to snap the losing streak at home and bring all the energy they can even with Jamal Murray being questionable to play. Jokic is averaging 29.9 pts, 13.2 rebounds, and 10.0 assists per game. With that being said, Indiana is third in points given up in the paint, while Nikola Jokić ranks third in the most points in the paint and is dominant in assist production. Without Jamal Murray in the lineup, Nikola Jokić still finds a way to put up a massive stat line, and this combo will hit your pockets hard-
Aaron Gordon over 5.5 Rebounds (-120 on Bet365)
Don’t sleep on Aaron Gordon, who is using this last stretch of the regular season to dominate on both sides of the ball. Defensively, he has been securing the ball and playing aggressively on the floor. Resulting in him averaging 6.2 rebounds per game.
