Trae Young is once again set to miss this contest due to a knee injury suffered against Brooklyn. In his absence, Jalen Johnson has the opportunity to continue to build on what has already been an extremely positive start to the 2025-2026 season.

Johnson is averaging 20.6 points per game and has scored at least 20 points in five out of seven games played for Atlanta. The Hawks forward is shooting 58% from the field, and has not finished with a field goal rate below 50% in seven contests, while taking 14.3 attempts per game.

To add to the 20.6 points scored each contest, Johnson is also averaging 8.6 boards and five assists per game. The Duke alum is averaging 20.6 points, 10.3 boards and six assists in the three previous games without Young.

Pretty straightforward logic on this selection. This will be only the second contest that Anthony Edwards will be on the floor since succumbing to a hamstring injury that forced him to miss four games. Edwards is currently listed a questionable for this contest. However, he stated he felt great after facing the Knicks on Wednesday. Make sure to check back a little later in the day on the BettingPros app for up-to-date information

Anthony Edwards has failed to knock down four baskets from beyond the arc in the previous three contests. The guard for Minnesota finished with at least four made three-pointers in only one game on the season. Despite shooting a very respectable 46.2% from above the perimeter, Edwards is only attempting 6.5 three-pointers each contest.

Edwards is one game removed from a soft tissue injury and is not shooting at the same volume as last season, when he attempted over 10 shots from beyond the arc. This will easily be the sweatiest of our selections, but we feel Edwards falls below four three-pointers made this evening.

It's an insanely wild world that we are living in when a player is not even returning a plus profit if they record a triple-double. Nevertheless, Nikola Jokic is up to five games of recording at least 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. This contest could have the makings of an epic battle, which is exactly why we feel Nikola Jokic will put on another elite performance.

Nikola Jokic is averaging 24.1 points, 13.4 rebounds and 12 assists in 35.1 minutes per contest. Jokic is connecting on 61.3% of attempts, and has made at least two baskets from beyond the arc in four out of seven games.

The Nuggets center is averaging 29.7 points, with 13.2 rebounds and 9.8 assists over the previous 10 games played against Golden State. In four home contests this season, Jokic is averaging 25.5 points, 12 rebounds and 13.8 assists. The Nuggets big man has failed to record a triple-double in only one out of four games played at Ball Arena this year.
