More Crowns For Luka
Luka Doncic has done it once again, taking the crown with a commanding triple-double against the Nuggets. Doncic put up 38 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists to deliver victory in Denver. It was enough to survive the late charge from Immanuel Quickley, who tied his career-high with 40 points against the Warriors tonight.
Congrats to the Doncic bettors! There’s a $40 bonus bet coming to your account soon. Here’s a look at the final top five on the leaderboard:
Join us next week for another edition of King of the Court!
The King Is Inevitable
He just can’t be stopped. Luka Doncic is playing MVP-level basketball tonight in the Mile High City, putting up 49 P/R/A in three quarters. That ties him with Anthony Edwards for the top spot on the board, and gives him a lead of 11 over Jamal Murray in a close game.
Luka taking the top spot is all but assured. Will Murray have a chance at catching him? Can Immanuel Quickley continue to cook the Warriors and pull a big upset? Stay with us as we head into the final quarters of the night.
Mountain Mayhem
Things truly came down to the wire in Salt Lake City. Keyonte George briefly took the top spot, then Anthony Edwards knotted things up at 46 P/R/A apiece. But, in a desperate bid for the comeback, Edwards drained a three to break the tie and never looked back. He now owns the top spot on the leaderboard.
But, once again, that lead is not safe. Jamal Murray and Luka Doncic are bringing the fireworks tonight; Murray is up to 36 P/R/A while Doncic is at 35. That game is midway through the third quarter. We don’t have serious contenders in our other two games, so it looks like things will come down to Murray and Doncic. Can one of them pass Ant?
Sengun Holds The Crown, But For How Long?
It seems leads at the top are not meant to last long today. The Rockets got the win, and Alperen Sengun put up 20/13/9 to lead his team and tonight’s field. But he’s already got a few players breathing down his neck.
Keyonte George continues to put up buckets, and Anthony Edwards has matched him. In the Jazz-Wolves matchup, Edwards and George have 38 and 37 P/R/A, respectively. Let’s see which of them can climb to the top.
Keyonte Enters The Chat
The duel between Sengun and Champagnie has stagnated, cracking the door open for other candidates. And Keyonte George is barging into the room.
With 32 points and 2 assists, George is only four P/R/A off of the top spot while being a full quarter of play behind Champagnie and Sengun. Can the budding Jazz star catch them and set the pace? And don’t forget about weekly contender Luka Doncic, who has racked up 20 P/R/A in the first quarter alone.
Scrap At The Top
Another short-lived time at the top. James Harden succumbed to the blowout, leaving the game with 35 P/R/A. That allowed two players, Julian Champagnie and Alperen Sengun, to pass him. Now those two will duke it out in our Texas showdown.
With just over a quarter left to play in that game, Sengun and Champagnie will set the pace before our 10 p.m. ET gets into full swing. Let’s see how high they can climb.
Numero Uno
And there it is. James Harden is on top of the pile as he continues to rack it up against the Chicago Bulls.
It’s a precarious lead, however. The Bulls are leading the Clippers comfortably, and he’s not long for this game. He also has two Bulls, Tre Jones and Nikola Vucevic, close on his heels. And we can’t forget Julian Champagnie, who closes the gap with every passing minute. It’s going to be a tight race tonight, folks.
Book On Top
It was a good night for Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns. They pulled off the road win in Philly, and Devin Booker prevailed in the race for the top of the board. With 34 P/R/A, he beat out VJ Edgecombe by one P/R/A, and sets the pace in the first game of the night.
But that lead isn’t going to last long. James Harden is up to 31 P/R/A as the third quarter comes to a close in Chicago, while Julian Champagnie is at 28 as the Spurs head into halftime. It’s a nice feather in the cap for Book, but his time at the top will be short-lived.
Race To Set The Pace
Our two top performers in the Sixers-Suns game are taking things down to the wire. VJ Edgecombe has narrowly taken the lead over Devin Booker by a 33-32 margin. Both are unlikely contest winners, but someone has to set the pace for tonight’s King of the Court.
Elsewhere, James Harden has totaled 20 P/R/A at halftime, falling off his torrid first-quarter pace. Julian Champagnie is also looking promising with 23 P/R/A midway through the second. Let’s see how this finishes.
Champagnie Showers
We’ve seen him get hot before, and it might be happening again. Julian Champagnie is unconscious from beyond the arc in the first quarter against the Rockets.
He’s got a tidy 18 P/R/A, including 15 points, through the first nine minutes. That’s rocketing him up the board. Let’s see if he can keep the pace and threaten the upset.
Book Cooking
Devin Booker is not to be denied tonight. He came out of halftime firing, and is up to 22 points midway through the third quarter. He’s overtaken former teammate Kelly Oubre Jr. for the top spot on our board, putting up a decent pace.
But he’s not the player to watch right now. James Harden has 14 P/R/A in the first quarter against the Bulls and looks like vintage Uno. We all know he’s capable of wild stat lines; Book needs to pick up the pace to stay ahead.
Tsunami Papi
Kelly Oubre Jr., I’m sorry I wrote you off. I listed so many guards, and forgot to mention your name. It’s fitting that Oubre Jr. is now the top P/R/A man on the board.
Oubre Jr.’s hot scoring puts him at the top as we near the end of a lackluster first half in Philly. His 19 P/R/A just beats out Devin Booker and VJ Edgecombe, who have 16 apiece. It’ll be interesting to see who sets the tone in this game coming out of halftime.
Philly Frenetic
We’ve got some high-volume guards in our first game of the night. Philly’s supersonic scoring backcourt of Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe are taking on Devin Booker, Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green. Two of those guards are leading the field as the first quarter winds down; both Booker and Edgecombe are tied with 11 P/R/A. Edgecombe is doing it in style.
There’s a lot of explosive scoring potential in this game. Let’s see what these talented guards have in store for us during the second quarter.
