Nikola Jokic (DEN) OVER 47.5 Fantasy points

Jokic has been over 53 fantasy points in two of his last four games and is officially back. He’s not as as we were once used to, but the Nuggets still play through Jokic and he’s going to have a big game against the fast-paced Rockets. 47.5 fantasy points seems way too low as I wouldn’t be tempted to click the under until it got to around 55. The Rockets are going to struggle with Jokic on the perimeter and his passing skills will be shown off here. As long as the Nuggets guards can hit their shots, 47.5 FP for Jokic is a safe bet.

Kevin Love (DEN) OVER 2.5 Three-pointers made

With Pascal Siakam out of the picture, I expect the Raptors to struggle covering Kevin Love tonight. Love played 34 minutes in each of the last two games and you have to expect the Cavs to trot him out for another 30+ tonight. Love has no problem shooting 20 times and I don’t think Sexton will have as much room as he typically gets. I like Love to sink at least three or four threes and have a big night overall.

Alec Burks (DEN) Over 18.5 Points

With D’Angelo Russell out of the picture, Alec Burks is going to be asked to step up in a big way. The Spurs aren’t a bad match-up, either, proving a willingness to run a bit in transition. I expect Burks to be well over 20 points as the leading point-scorer for the Warriors tonight. 18.5 is way too low.
