Magic vs. Lakers
Luka Doncic King of the Court
By Sean Little
Let's do a little King of the Court. We have bunch of games to choose from tonight, a lot of big bucket getters out of there, a lot of big PRA guys.
Our King of Chalk for tonight is once again going to be Luka Doncic.
This is a good spot for Luka.
First of all, Suggs is listed as questionable on the injury report for the Magic tonight. If you want to back Luka in this market, you hope that Suggs doesn't play. The potential absence of Suggs could be a big plus for Doncic.
Also, the Magic are exhausted right now. This will be the Magic's fourth game of a four-game road trip, and it's their third game in the last four days. They are coming off a double overtime game in Phoenix that they lost at the buzzer.
The Magic are coming off two straight grinders. They got a day off between now and then, but now they have to visit the Lakers on the last game of the road trip.
The Lakers are coming off a bad loss as well. Luka should put up a big number here, especially if Suggs doesn't play for Orlando.
It'll be a popular choice, but I'll take Luka Doncic to be our King of the Court winner tonight. I'm expecting 55+ PRA from #77 in this spot.
Pick: Luka Doncic King of the Court
Wizards vs. Hawks
Jalen Jonhson King of the Court
By Joe Dellera
I think we have to consider Jalen Johnson in the King of the Court market against the Wizards tonight.
Johnson has kind of been on another level lately.
He had one game against the Wizards back in December and tallied 30 points, 12 boards, and 12 assists in that contest — just an absolutely monstrous performance. So, I don't think that that's totally out of the question here.
Atlanta also kind of needs to win this game. The Hawks are in this weird limbo territory right now. They are obviously trying to win since they can still win the division.
So, I like Jalen Johnson in the King of the Court market tonight. He's going to be a pretty popular choice. However, whenever you have Doncic on the slate, you do get a chance to grab one of these other like slightly less popular guys at a little bit of a extra value since so many people tend to back the obvious favorite.
So, I'm backing Jalen Johnson tonight.
Pick: Jalen Jonhson King of the Court
Timberwolves vs. Trail Blazers
Anthony Edwards King of the Court
I'll go with Anthony Edwards to win King of the Court tonight.
In the preseason, Edwards said that his goal was to score a career high every single game. So, you know the effort is going to be there.
The total for this contest is pretty high at over/under 236.
The Timberwolves might be without Naz Reid in this game, and the Wolves aren't huge favorites on the spread. So, if tonight's matchup stays close, we could see Edwards play 35+ minutes.
I'll go with it Edwards here as someone who could easily score 45+ points in any given game, while still consistently contributing in the rebounds and assists categories as well.
