L.A. Lakers
Pick - Prop
Nikola Jokic Over 49.5 points + rebounds + assists (-108)
After averaging a combined 47.8 points, rebounds, and assists in the regular season, Jokic hasn’t missed a beat against the Lakers. He’s putting up 27.7 points, 15.6 rebounds, and 8.6 assists in the series (51.9 total). With an already-large usage rate during the regular season (28.8%), Jokic is basically not coming off the court in this series. He’s averaging over 39 minutes per game, and the Lakers don’t seem to have any answers for him.

Pick - Prop
Anthony Davis o26.5 points (-108)
Davis scored 33 points on 14-23 shooting in Game 3, and he has now dropped 32+ points in every game this series. Davis averaged 24.7 ppg during the regular season, but that was in 35.5 mpg, and he typically sees an uptick in playing time during the playoffs. He averaged 26.8 ppg in 41.2 mpg when the Lakers were swept by the Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals last year, and he's logging 42.3 mpg this series. If the Nuggets were losing games, then coach Michael Malone might gameplan to slow down AD. However, with Denver up 3-0, he seems content with letting AD get his points.
