Player Prop #2: Nikola Jokic / Over 12.5 Rebounds / -112 / 68% / Questionable but expected to play; Nuggets rebounding vulnerable without Gordon/Braun, faces Spurs’ thinner frontcourt.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment aligns with sharp money (65% on Spurs spread), supporting a follow strategy given Spurs’ 9-1 hot streak, +17.1 margin, and Denver’s extensive injuries (Murray/Gordon/Braun out). No contrarian fade justified as EV positive on home side. Game projects low-scoring under due to combined defensive metrics (Spurs 108.9 PA) and Nuggets’ recent road totals under 210.
