The good news is we don&#8217;t need Jokic to attempt 10 threes tonight for this to be in play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sacramento allows the second-most 3s per game (14.7) on the highest opponent 3PT% (38.2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Sabonis 12+ rebounds<\/strong><\/strong> <\/strong>(-167):<\/strong> Jokic is a beast on the glass, but Sabonis is a cut above, and I expect him to have a night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sabonis is averaging a league-best 13.9 rebounds per game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He has 10+ rebounds in 60 of 67 starts and 12+ rebounds in 50 of 67 starts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lithuanian big man had 19 rebounds when he last played Denver on Jan. 23.
