After Denver crushed the Suns in Games 1 and 2, Booker went off and propelled his team to back-to-back wins despite Jokic's best efforts. Even though the series swings back to Denver, CoversJLo doesn't like the Joker's odds tonight.
Devin Booker Under 8.5 assists We’re selling high on Jokic to come back to earth after three massive games and a significant uptick in his points prop total for Game 5. I'm also going Under on Devin Booker’s assist total, which is ticked up to 8.5 after 21 total dimes the past two games. My projection sits at 6.4 assists and no mainstream models have him recording more than seven.
Buy low on Ayton’s offensive efforts. His point total is down to 12.5 O/U after scoring just 12 combined in the Suns’ two wins due to foul trouble limiting his minutes. His projection ceiling is 19 points while my number is more conservative at 17 points, which is still more than enough to get Over 12.5 for Phoenix’s starting center.
Denver hit the board as short as a 4-point favorite and with Suns veteran guard Chris Paul still sidelined with a groin injury , this spread has since climbed to Nuggets -5.5. According to, 78% of the ticket count and 77% of the handle is laying the points with the host team tonight. Denver was dominant on its own court in the opening two games of the series, scoring 10 and 18-point victories as a favorite of -4.5 and -4. The Nuggets won all three home games against Minnesota in the opening round and boast a net rating of +13.6 inside Ball Arena so far this postseason.
