Live Updates
Crown the Center
For the second straight week, a center has won the King of the Court. Duren finished with a clean 50 PRA to take this week’s crown.
Duren bettors will receive a $1,000 bonus bet.
Rookie Ball
While it wasn’t enough to take down Duren, Maxime Raynaud finished with 44 PRA in the loss to the Spurs. He’s sixth in the King of the Court rankings for this week’s edition.
The Nuggets game is almost over with no player in the top 10 for this week’s KOTC.
All But Over
The Spurs are up by almost 40 points early in the third quarter, and the Nuggets are up 32 at halftime. Jokic and Wembanyama are likely to sit most of the fourth quarters with leads this large.
It’s not just the two stars. None of the players in these games have cracked the top 10 on King of the Court.
Duren’s 50 PRA is comfortably in first place as bettors await a potential $1,000 bonus bet.
Underwhelming Start
Jokic and Wembanyama haven’t lived up to high expectations thus far. Jokic has two points, two rebounds and 10 assists for 14 PRA with halftime approaching. Wembanyama has eight points, five rebounds and one assist for 14 PRA at half. Both games are blowouts, so it’s likely these stars sit out a chunk of the second half.
Quiet Before the Storm
Not much happening prior to the two 10 p.m. ET games. Jokic and Wembanyama will be playing separate contests, making this King of the Court a fun watch until the final buzzer.
What an Ending
After falling behind in the fourth quarter, Duren went on a tear to claim the top spot in this week’s King of the Court. He finished with 50 PRA, collecting 14 PRA in the final 4:23 of the Pistons vs. Wizards game.
That was enough to outdo Ball’s 49, Banchero’s 47, and Gilgeous-Alexander’s 47. There’s still a couple games left, so don’t celebrate just yet. Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama are playing later tonight.
Hart and Soul
Perhaps we’ve been focused on the wrong guys tonight. Josh Hart is up to 44 PRA with 32 points, seven rebounds and five assists in the third quarter. Playing without Jalen Brunson. gives him more offensive touches, but this is still an expected jump.
He’s not quite the leader, as Ball is in first with 46 PRA with about nine minutes remaining in the fourth.
MVP MVP MVP
The reigning NBA MVP is making some noise during Tuesday’s game against the Orlando Magic. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is entering the fourth quarter with 36 PRA. He’s tied for second with Duren.
Banchero, who is playing the Thunder, still leads with 41 PRA. Because it’s a close game, both stars should remain in the game for the majority of the fourth quarter. That’s great for fans watching.
Second Half Dash
The stars are rested after halftime and are cooking at the start of the third quarter. Banchero is up to 32 PRA with 21 points, eight. rebounds and three assists. Duren is close behind at 29 PRA, while LaMelo Ball is at 27 PRA.
This is just the first slate of games, so don’t get comfortable with these leaders yet.
First Hour Flare
Unlike last week, there isn’t a clear leader within the first hour of King of the Court. There are a handful of players with. potential to lead this week’s competition. Duren remains on top with 20 PRA nearing halftime, but Banchero and Keshad Johnson are not too far behind.
Centers vs. Washington
Last week it was Bam Adebayo, this week it’s Jalen Duren. Scoring 83 points is very unlikely, but he’s already up to 16 PRA with nine points and six rebounds in the first quarter.
Something about centers vs. Washington on Tuesday nights is just special.
Early Leaders
We’ve got four early leaders for King of the Court. Paolo Banchero has nine PRA more than halfway through the first, while LaMelo Ball, Cade Cunningham and Tre Johnson each have eight PRA. There’s a lot of game to be played, so lock in for some exciting matchups.
