Kings vs. Hornets
LaMelo Ball King of the Court
Our King of Fun for tonight is LaMelo Ball.
If Ball plays a full allotment of minutes tonight, the sky is the limit for him against a tanking Kings team that ranks 28th in both defensive rating and points allowed per game.
Ball has scored 29+ points in three of his last five games, while also tacking on 6+ rebounds and 5+ assists in three of those games.
Today's slate is is tiny, with only four games on the schedule. So, it may be tougher than usual to find value in the King of the Court market — but, if everything breaks right for LaMelo, he could certainly lead the slate in PRA tonight, and I don't think many people have him on their radar.
Pick: LaMelo Ball King of the Court
Pelicans vs. Knicks
Karl-Anthony Towns King of the Court
By Jim Turvey
Our King of Value for tonight is Karl-Anthony Towns.
First off, I think the Pelicans are going to keep this game close, so I'm not worried about him losing out on any minutes due to a blowout.
Second, the Pelicans have been rolling out a bunch of small-ball lineups centered around Zion Williamson and Herb Jones lately — and that should set up KAT for a big performance.
Expect New Orleans to linger around and keep this game competitive — but ultimately, I think we'll see the Knicks solve all the small-ball stuff and Towns lead them to a win down the stretch.
Pick: Karl-Anthony Towns King of the Court
Nuggets vs. Suns
Nikola Jokic King of the Court
By Matt Moore
Our King of Chalk for tonight is Nikola Jokic.
Mark Williams remains sidelined for the Suns, which means poor Oso Ighodaro is going to draw the primary defensive matchup against Jokic tonight — and to put it quite simply, it is not going to go well for him.
Jokic has been having some quieter nights in the scoring department lately. However, I expect him to put up a huge number in this spot.
Pick: Nikola Jokic King of the Court
