DraftKings Price: $9,400
If Harden and the Rockets want to win against the third-place Nuggets, they'll have to go through center Nikola Jokic, who is putting together a career year.
Jokic enters tonight's game with per 36-minute averages of 21.8 points 12.7 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.2 blocks. All of those except steals are new career highs.
His 35.7% assist percentage ranks seventh in the league among players who have played at least 10 games. All of the players above him on that list are point guards.
He has scored at least 51.25 DraftKings points against the Rockets in three of his past five contests against them, including a 54.5-point effort the last time he faced them at home.
We have him projected for 45.1 DraftKings points this evening with upside in the 70's. He's the top center option on the board.
