Capper Penguin's Wednesday NBA Pick: Bulls @ Nuggets - 3/8

Capper Penguin is looking for back-to-back winners with this pick for Wednesday night's NBA action!

I know I know my cheat sheets say Jokic under 10.5 assists and I’m playing over 9.5 assists, but let me explain.

Jokic openly says he stat pads and it’s pretty obvious in his home stats. This is why he stops right at 10 often (5 of his 10 cashes) which is why I don’t hate the 10.5 but I like the over 9.5 more. He’s had 10+ assists in his last 10 of 11 games with the one miss being 9 last game. He should’ve still covered last game with the amount of potential assists he had to make it 11 straight hits at home. 

Also in his last two vs Vucevic he had 14 & 15 assists. All of this combined made me comfortable with the 10+ and I’m looking for him to get back on track this evening.
