A new week of NBA action tips off with some awesome matchups, including Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks visiting the Los Angeles Clippers.
I’ve got NBA player prop bets for both of those All-Stars and more in my NBA picks for Monday, March 9.

 Nikola Jokic |
Over 12.5 rebounds | -110 |
 Kyle Filipowski |
Double-Double | +155 |
 Jalen Brunson |
Over 2.5 threes | +110 |
Prop #1: Nikola Jokic Over 12.5 rebounds
This is about as straightforward a bet as you can get. The Oklahoma City Thunder are great, but they aren’t perfect.
OKC ranks 23rd in rebounding rate and will be without Isaiah Hartenstein, while Chet Holmgren is questionable due to an illness. And I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but the Denver Nuggets have this guy who’s pretty good at rebounding named Nikola Jokic.
The two-time MVP is averaging 12.5 rebounds per game this season and has hauled down 13 or more boards nine times over this last 14 games.
Let's not overthink this. Jokic. Rebounds. Over.

Prop #2: Kyle Filipowski double-double
The number of injuries for both teams means tonight’s matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Utah Jazz is for true NBA nerds.
Injuries mean opportunities. And the Jazz’s Kyle Filipowski is making the most of his.
Filipowski has started the last nine games for the Jazz and is averaging 14.7 points and 8.4 rebounds over that stretch. He’s also hauled down 11 or more boards in three straight games.
The Dubs rank 22nd in rebounding rate, and Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford are both out.
This looks like a great spot to back Filipowski to record another double-double.

Prop #3: Jalen Brunson Over 2.5 threes
The New York Knicks can be an infuriating team. Sometimes they look like the best team in the East. Then they turn over the ball 19 times and get blown out by the Lakers.
But one thing you can always count on is Jalen Brunson, and the Knicks’ star point guard has been on fire from beyond the arc. Brunson is shooting 40.4% from three on 5.7 attempts over his last 10 games.
Bruns has hit three or more threes in five of his last 10 games, and tonight, he faces a Los Angeles Clippers team that ranks 24th in opponent 3-point shooting percentage.
