🔥 James Harden Over 2.5 made 3-pointers ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Denver ranks 23rd in the NBA in 3-point defense, with opponents averaging 36.5% from beyond the arc on the season against the Nuggets. We’ve liked Norman Powell thus far in the series because of this aspect of the matchup, but it’s Harden’s recent consistency from 3-point range that has us excited for his prospects in Game 3.
Harden has averaged 3.0 made 3-pointers per game on the year on 8.5 attempts per game, but we’ve seen him knock down four triples in both games of this series on 20 total attempts. That uptick in willingness to let it fly coincides with a 40% hit rate in the series and that puts us on Over 2.5 made 3-pointers for Harden tonight.
A more aggressive line of Over 3.5 comes with +170 odds from DraftKings.
✅ Best odds: -145 via DraftKings ($10 to win $6.90)

🔥 Michael Porter Jr. Over 12.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐
We’re going back to the well on a prop that cashed for us in Game 2 because it’s pretty wild how consistently Porter Jr. has been able to score in road environments recently.
While he’s seen a couple of clunkers at home in this span, MPJ has cleared the 12.5-point scoring threshold in eight of his last nine road games. After rebounding from a bad Game 1 to score 15 points and show he can penetrate this Clippers defense, we’re staying with the volatile scorer on the road until sportsbooks place this line closer to his 18.2 PPG season average.
✅ Best odds: -110 via BetMGM ($10 to win $9.09)
Bonus bets will expire in 7 days. One new customer offer only. Additional terms and conditions apply.
🔥 Nikola Jokic to record a triple-double: Yes ⭐⭐⭐⭐
After Denver let one slip away on their home floor in Game 2, I’m looking for Jokic to assert himself as the best player on the floor in Game 3 on Thursday to try and propel the Nuggets forward in the series.
Jokic has recorded a triple-double in 6 of his last 10 games, including in Game 2 of this series. He fell short by only one rebound of the feat in Game 1. The frequency with which he either accomplishes this feat or is right in range to do so makes the +140 odds we’re getting from DraftKings an attractive proposition in such an important game for the Nuggets.
✅ Best odds: +140 via DraftKings ($10 to win $14)
