This is available at BetRivers. The Nuggets give up the most assists per game (29.8), and they've allowed 31 assists per game over their last three. With Dejounte Murray's season-ending injury, Jose Alvarado should get 30-plus minutes at the point. Alvarado played 34 minutes vs. Boston on Friday, notching six assists.

As good as Nikola Jokic is, he’s not a rim protector. That has contributed to the Nuggets allowing the fifth-most points in the paint per game in the league. That is where Zion Williamson shines. He has attempted 225 shots this season and 131 of them have come from within less than five feet from the rim. He has already scored at least 24 points in four straight games, making this a very appealing wager.

The Pels' Jose Alvarado should see a huge uptick in minutes with Dejounte Murray out for the season. Murray went down during Friday's game against Boston, and Alvarado's minutes basically doubled from his season average and he finished with 20 points on 14 shot attempts. No Russell Westbrook for the Nugs tonight, so perhaps a little less effort needed defensively from Alvarado and that will translate on the offensive end.
