The Nuggets visit the Lakers tonight and both teams are extremely rested for this spot. The Nuggets last played on Sunday and the Lakers on Monday. I’m targeting Nikola Jokic to assert himself in the paint tonight. When these two teams played earlier in the season, he pulled down 13 rebounds on an incredible 27 rebound chances. Jokic is averaging 12.3 rebounds per game on 19.8 chances. Even with AD, the Lakers have surrendered big rebounding games to Centers including 15 to Hartenstein, 12 to Capela, and 12 to Sengun in the last week and a half. Jokic should dominate on the glass, especially because of the way the Nuggets have matched up Gordon on AD at times or Rui on Jokic. I like Jokic to exceed his rebounds prop.

Featured Insight
The Nuggets have allowed 13.0 second chance points per game on the road this season -- 8th-best in the NBA; the Lakers have averaged 10.0 second chance points per game at home this season -- lowest in the NBA.
