Wizards vs. 76ers
Tyrese Maxey King of the Court
My King of the Court pick for tonight is Tyrese Maxey.
The Wizards rank 30th in points allowed per game and 4th in pace.
Joel Embiid will miss tonight's game for the 76ers.
So, I see this as a spot where the Sixers are going to get out and run in transition, potentially leading to a performance of 40+ or 50+ points for Maxey, with plenty of opportunities to rack up assists and collect some boards as well.
Pick: Tyrese Maxey King of the Court
Knicks vs. Celtics
Karl-Anthony Towns King of the Court
I like Karl-Anthony Towns to be our King of the Court winner against the Celtics tonight.
I'm already locked into some prop overs for Towns in this spot. So, I'm just going to go ahead and burn my King of the Court token on KAT as well.
Towns is always a threat to contend in this market, given his high upside in both the scoring and rebounding departments.
We rarely see Towns erupt for 40+ points like we consistently see from some of the other contenders on tonight's slate such as Tyrese Maxey or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. However, he's still averaging over 21 points per game for the Knicks this season, and that number spikes occasionally.
The fact that KAT is averaging 11.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game gives him a really solid floor in the PRA market, and with a relatively trim 6-game slate on-tap tonight, I'll roll the dice on Towns to lead the way.
Pick: Karl-Anthony Towns King of the Court
Timberwolves vs. Pelicans
Anthony Edwards King of the Court
I'm rolling with Anthony Edwards to stay hot and win King of the Court tonight.
Edwards has scored 30+ points in five straight games, and the Timberwolves draw a bottom-3 defense in tonight's matchup against the Pelicans.
We are probably going to need him to tally more rebounds and assists that he usually does in order to get home on this one.
However, I think Ant might be destined for a monster game against New Orleans tonight, and when everything is clicking for Edwards, the sky is the limit.
So, I feel good taking the upside with Ant in the King of the Court market.
