Nikola Jokic is coming off of one of the best games in NBA history, as he recorded a 31-21-22 triple-double in the Nuggets‘ overtime win over Phoenix a few days ago. After Jokic recorded his first triple-double in the first half, he went on to record another separate triple-double in the second half.
Jokic is truly one of a kind, and this is a great spot for him, as this should be a competitive game on national TV against the Thunder, who allow the 5th-most rebound chances per game to their opponents.
Pick: Nikola Jokic Over 12.5 Rebounds (-105)

[subheader sizedown=”false” text=”Anthony Edwards Under 3.5 Three-Pointers (-105)” subtext=”Spurs vs Timberwolves, 8:00 p.m. ET” center=”false” logo1url=”https://images.actionnetwork.com/blog/2023/08/nba-updated-logo-minnesota-timberwolves.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/odds/minnesota-timberwolves” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]

We all know Anthony Edwards has no problem putting up three-pointers all game long.
However, following the return of Donte DiVincenzo and Julius Randle to the Timberwolves‘ lineup, his volume has been much more inconsistent, and as a result, he has gone under this number in 4 of his last 6 outings.
Edwards projects for right around 3.6 three-pointers tonight, so there is some value here at -105. Tonight’s game against the Spurs also has a double-digit point spread, so we could see Edwards lose out on some playing time in the case of a blowout as well.
Pick: Anthony Edwards Under 3.5 Three-Pointers Made (-105)
[subheader sizedown=”false” text=”James Harden Under 33.5 Points & Assists (-120)” subtext=”Kings vs Clippers, 9:30 p.m. ET” center=”false” logo1url=”https://images.actionnetwork.com/blog/2023/07/los-angeles-clippers-logo-updated-2023.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/odds/los-angeles-clippers” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]

This is a big line for James Harden, and I think his stats might be a bit inflated.
If you look at his numbers with Norman Powell off the floor, you’ll see he is averaging a whopping 0.7 points per minute. However, that number dips down below 0.5 points per minute with Kawhi Leonard on the floor.
Kawhi is back to playing big minutes, and last game, Harden only played 9-10 minutes without Kawhi on the floor. As a result, I project Harden for 31 points + assists in tonight’s contest.
Pick: James Harden Under 33.5 Points & Assists (-120)
