Nikola Jokic total points scored prop bet will be available from BetUS for Sunday's big showdown between the Nuggets and Thunder in Oklahoma City. Jokic is coming off a record setting performance Friday in a 149-141 overtime win against Phoenix.
Jokic is scoring 28.9 points per game with 12.9 rebounds and 10.6 assists for the Nuggets. His scoring total Sunday was expected to be 28.5 vs. Oklahoma City.
Jokic had 31 points, 21 rebounds and a career-high 22 assists Friday night, becoming the first NBA player with a triple-double of at least 30 points, 20 rebounds and 20 assists. He tied his team record with his 29th triple-double of the season, stretching his career total to 149. It was also the seventh time this season that Jokic had at least 15 points, 15 rebounds and 15 assists in a game, tied with Oscar Robertson (1961-62) for the most in a season in NBA history.
Jokic's 22 assists were an NBA record for a center.
"Nikola Jokic is one of one," Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. "I mean, the first player to ever have a 30, 20 and 20 game. I can't describe him, so don't ask me to. The guy is just an incredible player, and when you are one of one in this league and the tremendous history of this league, that says a lot. And there's a lot of good players in this league, but Nikola, in my opinion, is just in a class well by himself."
