FanDuel Believes in The Joker
Nikola Jokic - Player Points: Over 25.5 (-122)
Tyler Maher: "Jokic has been on a scoring tear since returning from a brief injury-related absence in late November, averaging 28.5 points per game over his last 15 contests. He's hit the over on this prop nine times during that span, including five times in his last seven games. Ride the back-to-back MVP to have another big scoring night on Christmas in a marquee matchup against Phoenix."
Action Network Trusts KCP
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Over 1.5 3-Pointers (-135)
Munaf Manji: "One area that the Nuggets have excelled at this season is shooting the 3-ball. In fact, the Nuggets are the best 3-point percentage team in the entire league. The Nuggets have three different players on their roster who are shooting it above 40% from beyond the arc.
"One of those players is Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. KCP leads the Nuggets in 3-point percentage (46.3%) thus far this season. Further, he is averaging two makes per game. However, over the last five games, KCP is shooting the 3-pointer at 47.3% and has knocked down at least two 3-pointers in three straight games.
"Despite not giving up tons of makes from beyond the arc, the Suns do rank No. 24 in opponent 3-point percentage. In fact, that number has stayed consistent over the last five games, as they are allowing their opponents to shoot 39.7% from the 3-point line (24th).
"With the attention Nikola Jokic commands on the offensive side for the Nuggets, I expect shooters like KCP to find the open shots and knock down at least two of them."
