Nuggets Best Player Bets: Nikola Jokic to Record a Triple-Double +260
Nikola Jokic has consistently been one of the best players in the league for years now. The Serbian superstar flirts with a triple-double on a nightly basis, and more times than not, he lands one. Expect the top players to show up big time in what each team will treat as a WCF preview. A triple-double from Jokic always seems like a good bet.

Timberwolves Best Player Bets: Julius Randle 2+ Made Threes +120
Julius Randle has seemed to pick up where he left off in New York with his new squad. The forward has fit in seamlessly with the Timberwolves, and his offensive game seems to pair well with Minnesota’s other stars. In his last four games, Randle has knocked down 2+ triples in two. Averaging four three-point attempts per game, the Kentucky product could look to continue his hot shooting start beyond the arc (62.5% from 3) against Denver.
