NBA | Denver 108 @ Brooklyn 102 | 03/19 | 7:30 PM UTC

Nikola Jokic OVER 12.5 Total Rebounds -123

WIN

ANALYSIS: This is a huge number, but Jokic had 20 rebounds against the Nets last week. The Nets have been awful on the glass, giving up rebounds in bunches to opposing centers. Over the last two weeks, they allowed 21 rebounds to Domantas Sabonis, 13 rebounds to Rudy Gobert, 10 rebounds to Brook Lopez, 12 rebounds to Alperen Sengun and 14 rebounds to Mark Williams. Jokic might be hard-pressed to record 20 rebounds against them again, but I still like him to hit the over.

NBA | Phoenix 120 @ Oklahoma City 124 | 03/19 | 7:30 PM UTC

Oklahoma City -125

WIN

ANALYSIS: When these two teams met in Phoenix less than two weeks ago, the Suns won by 31 points. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, who did not play in that matchup, are expected to suit up Sunday. Meanwhile, Deandre Ayton (groin) will sit out for the Suns. The Thunder are also 21-15 at home, compared to 13-21 on the road. The Suns are 23-12 at home, but just 15-20 on the road. Look for the Thunder to earn the win this time around.
