Nikola Jokic Over 25.5 Points (-102)
It wasn't the best of games for Jokic on Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers as Joel Embiid outdueled him scoring 47 points. Jokic had “only” 24 on the night, plus 8 rebounds and 9 assists, turning the ball over 7 times. Only twice this season he had more turnovers than on Sunday, so you get the idea just how bad of a performance that was. But, knowing Jokic he will definitely want to make amends tonight and I think backing him to fill up the Pelicans net is the way to bet on this game. The 2-time MVP is averaging 29 points per game in his last 4 outings while shooting an incredible 72% from the field and 62% from three. He had 25 points in the win over the Pelicans a week ago, and in the last 10 meetings he's cleared this line 8 times, while in the 2 games he failed to do so he finished with 25 points. So the consistency is there, with Zion Williamson not clogging the paint he will have a open path to the basket in tonight's game.
