Timberwolves vs. Pacers
Julius Randle King of the Court
With Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels both ruled out again, the runway is completely clear for Julius Randle to dominate the box score against the Pacers tonight.
Without Edwards, Randle has been a counting-stat machine, posting 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists in his last outing — and 27, 6, and 6 the game before that.
The Timberwolves are double-digit favorites, but they have a tendency to play with their food, which usually means Randle stays on the floor for 32-to-35 minutes even in games that should be blowouts.
Facing a Pacers defense that struggles with physical interior play, Randle’s high usage and increased playmaking duties make him a prime candidate to lead the slate in PRA.
Pick: Julius Randle King of the Court
Mavericks vs. Clippers
Cooper Flagg King of the Court
By Sean Little
When we talk about pure offensive volume, nobody in the league is touching Cooper Flagg right now. He is firmly entrenched in a Rookie of the Year battle with Kon Knueppel, and he is clearly playing to win that award.
Over his last two games, Flagg has attempted a staggering 57 shots combined — leading to 96 points in that stretch.
The peripherals are there, too; he’s coming off a massive 45-point, 9-rebound, 8-assist masterpiece against the Lakers.
He is getting downhill, living at the free-throw line (17 attempts the other night), and looks like the only player on the Mavericks’ roster currently playing with something to prove.
In a game where production is king, Flagg’s massive usage makes him the ultimate value play.
Pick: Cooper Flagg King of the Court
Thunder vs. Lakers
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander King of the Court
While everyone else is digging for random players on tanking teams, there may be strategic value in going mega-chalk with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
On a slate where stars like LeBron James or the primary Clippers options might sit out, SGA remains the most reliable elite floor on the board.
By sticking with SGA, you are banking on a guaranteed 30+ points along with elite contributions in the rebounding and assists categories.
If some of the other superstars end up being late scratches, SGA is the pillar that holds the entire slate together.
Pick: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander King of the Court
