Check out his numbers from last season:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No rest (12 GP):<\/strong> 33.9 PPG, 69.7 TS%, 32.3% usage rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 day rest (41 GP):<\/strong> 28.5 PPG, 64.4 TS%, 29.5% usage rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2 days rest (9 GP):<\/strong> 26.4 PPG, 69.3 TS%, 25.6% usage rate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Denver Nuggets&#8217; lead man takes a bigger role when his team is tired, and tonight should be no different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Bet on Jokic to dominate the Pacers at NorthStar Bets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jokic scored 25 points in 28 minutes yesterday on a hyper-efficient 12-of-15 shooting. That brought his November FG rate up to an absurd 69.1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indiana is suffering a next-level NBA Finals hangover, starting the season 1-7 with the fourth-worst net rating (-8.3) in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pacers have been ravaged by injuries, to be fair, but I doubt Jokic cares about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Jokic is averaging 31.0 PPG this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Today&#8217;s best NBA prop bets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Wembanyama over 11.5 rebounds <\/strong>(-118)<\/strong>: Wembanyama came out of the gates flying, averaging 30.2 points and 14.6 rebounds through five games in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>November hasn&#8217;t been as pretty (16.7 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 0-3 vs. this line), but he should bounce back tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Bet on Wembanyama to clear his rebounding total<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The French phenom is still playing big minutes and has a size advantage unlike anyone in basketball. Standing at 7-foot-4, he should decimate a Pelicans front court missing Zion Williamson and Yves Missi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New Orleans ranks 29th in rebounding rate (47.1%) so far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>LaRavia 2+ threes <\/strong><\/strong>(-108)<\/strong>: Austin Reaves and Gabe Vincent are out tonight, meaning LaRavia will step into the starting shooting guard position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 24-year-old is shooting 40.6% from deep this year, and is playing a healthy 36.3 minutes per game this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LaRavia and the Lakers take on an Atlanta Hawks team with the second-best 3-point defence in basketball. This isn&#8217;t an easy matchup, but I&#8217;m banking on opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luka Doncic has taken 11 threes in consecutive games and should stretch the floor for LaRavia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>NBA prop picks made at 10:48 a.m. ET on 11\/08\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Sign up to NorthStar Bets today<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two of the game&#8217;s most electrifying big men, Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama, headline Saturday&#8217;s NBA prop bets.
