Jakob Poeltl Over 11.5 Points & Over 8.5 Rebounds

Poeltl is in the midst of a career year, although he is shooting just 32.8% from the free-throw line. He has scored in double figures in six of his nine games since coming out of the NBA’s health and safety protocols. Poeltl is projected for 12.78 points in a great matchup against Denver. Opposing centers have had a field day against the Nuggets this year.

The over has a 61% chance of hitting and an expected ROI of 13%.

Dejounte Murray Over 7.5 Rebounds & Over 7.5 Assists

While these props are about at the top of his daily production, Murray continues to bring it every night. Murray has registered at least 15 points, seven rebounds and six assists in eight straight games. He has averaged 19.4 points, 9.1 assists and nine rebounds over his last 10 games.

Murray struggled a little bit against the Nuggets in the teams’ earlier meeting this year but still managed to post 15 points, nine rebounds and six assists. However, he has played well at the AT&T Center and is projected for 8.87 rebounds and 8.59 assists tonight. Plus, Murray could be on the court more than usual with Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell expected to miss the game due to injury. OddsShopper gives the over a 75% chance of hitting on the rebound prop and a 71% of hitting on the assist prop. It also lists the expected ROI to be 29% and 39%, respectively.
