Parlay: Nuggets +8 + Mitchell over 23.5 points + Jokic over 1.5 threes<\/strong> (+360)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuggets +8 (-335):<\/strong> The Nuggets are 8-1 over their last nine games at Ball Arena. During this hot streak, they’ve beaten the Phoenix Suns, Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks (twice).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleveland carries the best record in the NBA (26-4) but has lost two of the last three on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The momentum in this spot rides on the side of the Nuggets and I’m buying in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking an extra handful of points gives this leg extra cushion even though I believe Denver has a good chance to win straight up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mitchell over 23.5 points (-120):<\/strong> Mitchell’s scoring production has taken a dip this season (23.3 PPG) but it’s more of a “too-much-talent” problem, which is an issue every team would love to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dynamic guard can still score at a high level, shooting above 40% from three. It’s about finding the right matchup and I think this is it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denver allows the second-most points to shooting guards (24.5), per Fantasy Pros. The standard line in this game is Cavaliers -3 and as mentioned before, I expect the Nuggets to keep it close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleveland leads the NBA with an average scoring margin of +11.6, per Team Rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blowout wins are another reason for Mitchell’s scoring dip. But a close game with a good individual matchup is a good reason to get behind him on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jokic over 1.5 threes<\/strong> (-112):<\/strong> The MVP favourite has been an assassin from 3-point range this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jokic is shooting 50.0% from three and he’s cleared this line in 14 of the last 16 games. The do-it-all big man has added a legit three-point shot to his arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamal Murray is questionable for the Nuggets and if he is out, Jokic will spend more time on the perimeter which would ideally lead to more 3-point attempts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s been so efficient, however, only a few attempts are required for this leg to cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
