Timberwolves vs. Jazz
Anthony Edwards King of the Court
Anthony Edwards was snubbed from the starting lineup in the All-Star Game, and in his first appearance since receiving the news, I expect him to be an absolute monster.
We are going to see a ticked-off Edwards take on the Jazz tonight, and quite frankly, I feel bad for Brice Sensabaugh or whichever Utah player draws the primary defensive assignment against Ant in this game, because he is going to be relentless.
Edwards is going to do everything he can to generate some huge numbers coming off the All-Star snub, and in a matchup against the Jazz, a game with the highest total on the board for tonight's slate, this is an "eyes wide open" type of spot for Ant.
Pick: Anthony Edwards King of the Court
Lakers vs. Nuggets
Jamal Murray King of the Court
By Kyle Murray
Jamal Murray was my favorite King of the Court pick last week, and it looked like he was going to come out on top for most of the evening before LeBron James swooped in and stole it from him in the final game of the evening, paying out $2,000 in bonus bets to the small group of bettors that backed King James.
Nikola Jokic remains sidelined for the Nuggets, and we've seen Murray's assist rate skyrocket in his absence — reaching double-digit assists in five of his last 12 outings.
We also know that Murray is capable of erupting in the scoring department in any given game, especially in the absence of Jokic, as he enters tonight having scored 33+ points in three of his last four games.
Pick: Jamal Murray King of the Court
Lakers vs. Nuggets
Luka Doncic King of the Court
By Matt Moore
Surprise, surprise… Luka Doncic is back on the card as our "King of Chalk" again this week. The sky high volume of points + rebounds + assists he records on a regular basis is just insane.
The Lakers have stunk lately, losing five of their last seven games — and Doncic hasn't been all that great from an efficiency standpoints during that stretch.
However, it's just really difficult to beat Luka in this market. He's a monster. He does it all.
So, if you just want to have a horse in the race when it comes to the King of the Court market, regardless of potential upside, Doncic is your guy.
