Nikola Jokic under 50.5 total Points + Assists + Rebounds
Jokic has shown signs of fatigue in this series, and the Thunder have done an outstanding job of containing the three-time MVP and limiting his success on the offensive end of the floor. Jokic has gone over this number in only one of four games against the Thunder thus far. The model is projecting Jokic to finish with 45.3 total points + assists + rebounds in Game 5.
