There are just eight teams remaining in the NBA playoffs, and four of them will be looking for an early series edge in their Game 1s on Monday night. One of those matchups is between the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder at 9:30 p.m. ET. After beating the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 7 on Saturday, there wasn't much of a turnaround for the Nuggets traveling to Oklahoma City to face the team with the NBA's best record.

If the Nuggets are to have any shot in this series, they will need several incredible performances from Nikola Jokic. Jokic averaged a triple double in the seven-game series vs. the Clippers, putting up 24.0 points, 11.6 rebounds and 10.1 assists. But did you know that Jokic has actually gone Under his points + rebounds prop in nine of his past 10 games, averaging 34.9 points + rebounds in that span? With his points + rebounds line at 40.5 tonight, that recent trend could be something to keep in mind before building out your NBA same-game parlays for tonight.
