Look of the Day for Tuesday, Jan. 23: Jokic to have hands full with Turner

Jaden Ivey couldn't get us to the window on Monday night due to a slow second half, but we're feeling confident in a bounce-back winner to start the week. Let's change gears and target a scary under for our favorite prop bet of Tuesday's slate. 

Look of the Day: Nikola Jokic under 49.5 points + rebounds + assists (-110 DraftKings)

It's not easy to fade the two-time NBA MVP and stat-stuffer extraordinaire, but Nikola Jokic has struggled against the Indiana Pacers and Myles Turner throughout his career.

In 13 career games against Turner, Jokic has gone over this points + rebounds + assists line only two times. Obviously, some of those matchups were before Jokic became a top-two player in the league, but he's cleared this line against Turner just once since 2018.

Turner is long and quick enough to deny Jokic the ball and keep him off the offensive glass, limiting his rebound and assist chances. As for the scoring, Turner has held him to 50 percent shooting or worse in five of their last seven matchups. 

Jokic has gone over this PRA in four of his last five games, but take a guess who he faced in the one outlier. That's right, Turner.
