Which bets should you make?

If you're looking to bet Nikola Jokic to have a huge night against the Suns, we recommend taking a series of three plus money bets and adding them together in a Ladder Play. This is how it works:

BET #1: Nikola Jokic To Record Over 8.5 Assists (+100 on FanDuel)

The first bet is Jokic to eclipse nine or more assists. He averaged 9.8 assists per game in the regular season, and is averaging 9.0 assists per game in this series against Phoenix. He is leaned upon heavily from start to finish for the Denver offense, and that will continue tonight.

BET #2: Nikola Jokic To Record Over 9.5 Assists (+175 on FanDuel)

The second bet is Jokic to record 10 or more assists. While this is a high number, it's not difficult for Jokic to reach, in fact he does so on a regular basis! Jokic has recorded double digit assists in 50% of his last 14 games going back to the final month of the regular season.

BET #3: Nikola Jokic To Record Over 11.5 Assists (+550 on FanDuel)

The final leg of the Ladder Play is Jokic to record 12 assists or more. At +550 odds, this leg has some insane value. Jokic is coming off an impeccable 17-assist game in Game 3, but his numbers in the playoffs are arguably more impressive. He has three 12-assist games in his last four playoff appearances. This is a number Jokic can easily hit, and has hit consistently this playoff run. At +550, there's a huge edge available for bettors.
