Best Prop Bets For Nuggets-Timberwolves
- D’Angelo Russell UNDER 16.5 (-125)
- Nikola Jokic UNDER 13.5 Rebounds (-115)
- Aaron Gordon OVER 15.5 Points (-105)
D’Angelo Russell UNDER 16.5 (-125)
Russell has struggled as of late. He’s hit the under on this prop in his last four games. Russell is in a poor shooting slump, shooting 9% from three in the last four games. The Nuggets’ defense isn’t the greatest, but if Russell is going to shoot himself out of the game, I’ll take a chance fading him. Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards will do the heavy lifting.
Nikola Jokic UNDER 13.5 Rebounds (-115)
As great of a player Jokic is, asking for 14 rebounds is a lot. He’s only cleared this line in two of the last 10 games. He’s cleared this line in two of his three matchups with the Timberwolves. However, he’s missed the line once and recent history says he’ll hit the under. If Karl-Anthony Towns can provide any kind of resistance on the inside, Jokic will hit the under.
Aaron Gordon OVER 15.5 Points (-105)
Gordon has cleared this line in four of his last five games. He had a bad game last time out, but I would attribute it to low shot volume. If Gordon gets back to his normal shot volume, tonight will be a good night. Gordon's also shooting over 40% from three over the last five games, which raises his ceiling for the night. The Timberwolves have a good defense, but Gordon is playing alongside Jokic who can get him his shots.
