Pistons vs. Hawks
Jalen Johnson King of the Court
Jalen Johnson is putting up stupid numbers with Trae Young sidelined for the Hawks.
Since Young went down with his latest injury, Johnson has averaged 22 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists across his last eight games.
Young will remain out for Atlanta tonight, so give me Jalen Johnson to be our King of the Court this week.
Pick: Jalen Johnson King of the Court
Pistons vs. Hawks
Jalen Duren King of the Court
By Kyle Murray
Cade Cunningham will be sidelined for the Pistons tonight, so this should be a great spot for Jalen Duren to see another spike in volume.
In the absence of Cunningham, Duren has shown massive upside, as demonstrated by his 31 points, 15 rebounds, and three assists in last night's game against Indiana.
The matchup is also solid, squaring off against the Hawks tonight. So, I'll back Duren in the King of the Court market.
Pick: Jalen Duren King of the Court
Jazz vs. Lakers
Luka Doncic King of the Court
Give me the chalk here, I'm going to take Luka Doncic.
LeBron James is returning to the lineup for the Lakers tonight, and I think we may see that deter some people from backing Luka in this spot.
However, there's no super high-volume players like Nikola Jokic, Victor Wembanyama, nor Giannis Antetokounmpo on this slate, and Doncic should still command the highest usage rate among all of tonight's options by a decent margin, even with LeBron returning to the fold for Los Angeles.
So, when this type of situation falls into place, I just like to take the chalk and bank on the chances of Luka winning likely outweighing his ownership stake.
