No Stopping Nikola
That’s a performance for the ages. Nikola Jokic got the win and racked up a massive stat line along the way. He put up a whopping 23 points, 17 rebounds, and 17 assists to secure the King of the Court while hitting the game-winning shot with 11 seconds to go. That’s how you cap off the night. Jokic also secured a $43 bonus bet for his backers. Congrats to the winners! Here’s a look at our final top five on the leaderboard:
Join us next week for another edition of King of the Court!
King Once Again?
He’s done it again, folks. Nikola Jokic is on his way to a 20/20/20 night if he can keep this up; as the third quarter winds down, the Nuggets superstar has 18 points, 14 rebounds, and 15 assists. That ties him for the top spot on the leaderboard and all but assures he will take home the top prize of the night.
Jalen Green has fallen behind the pace, with 30 total P/R/A. With nobody else in his stratosphere, let’s see how high the Joker can climb.
Triple Double Watch
There is no stopping Nikola Jokic. As halftime closes in Phoenix, the Joker has 15 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists. That’s a whopping 35 P/R/A in a single half, putting him on pace to crush Paolo Banchero and Donovan Mitchell at the top of the leaderboard.
It’s also worth mentioning Jalen Green, who has 21 total P/R/A to put up a respectable pace. On the right night, he can put up points in a hurry. But it seems like this is Jokic’s crown to lose; let’s see how long it takes for him to take over the top spot.
Joker Cooking Early
Our projected P/R/A leader, Nikola Jokic, is getting busy against the Suns. The three-time MVP has six points, eight rebounds, and five assists in the first quarter. That sets quite the pace.
There’s a long way to go until he reaches 47 P/R/A. But it is one heck of a start.
Wild Finish in Cleveland
This one came right down to the wire. Both Paolo Banchero and Donovan Mitchell held the top spot down the stretch, battling back and forth as their teams went to the mat. Banchero nearly struck the decisive blow, hitting a three with only a second remaining and the Magic down three, which gave him a two-P/R/A lead over Donovan Mitchell. Then the Magic intentionally fouled Mitchell, and he calmly knocked down two free throws to ice the game and tie Banchero for the top spot.
With 47 P/R/A apiece, Mitchell and Banchero have set a strong mark. If it stands, their bettors would net a $144 bonus bet. But we still have one game left to play, and all eyes are on Nikola Jokic.
Brunson Swoops In
Karl-Anthony Towns briefly held the lead, but it was Jalen Brunson who took over in crunch time. The Knicks superstar piled on 32 points to go with one rebound and seven assists, taking a firm grasp of the top spot. But that may not last for long.
Donovan Mitchell went nuclear in the third quarter against the Magic, jumping up to 36 P/R/A. Paolo Banchero has a slight lead over him with 37. And you can’t count out James Harden, who sits at 32 as the fourth quarter gets underway. Let’s see how this stretch run in Cleveland goes.
KAT Takes Charge
It’s a huge night for KAT. In a surprisingly tight game against the New Orleans Pelicans, KAT has a loud double-double with 21 points, 13 rebounds, and an assist. That’s enough to leapfrog LaMelo Ball for the top spot on our King of the Court leaderboard.
He has also opened up a six-P/R/A lead over his teammate OG Anunoby, who has fallen off in the second half. Let’s see how much KAT can put up over the last seven minutes of this game.
One Down, Three To Go
In what ended up a 44-point blowout win for the Hornets, the P/R/A lines got muddy. LaMelo Ball, Coby White, and Moussa Diabate ended up frozen in the top three. That sure opens things up for the rest of the field.
OG Anunoby is knocking on the door with 29 P/R/A, as is his teammate Karl-Anthony Towns (25). We also have some promising movers in the Magic-Cavaliers game: James Harden is cooking with 27 P/R/A at halftime, while Paolo Banchero is a smidge behind him with 26.
It seems likely that LaMelo’s spot at the top is not going to last. Who will be the first to topple him?
Hornets Stinging
It’s a beatdown in Charlotte tonight. The Hornets are smashing the Kings by over 40 points, which has thrown a big wrench in our King of the Court contest.
LaMelo Ball still leads with 34 P/R/A, but has been on the bench for quite some time. Coby White sure gave him a run for his money, piling up 27 points and 33 total P/R/A. It was a flurry of buckets all night for this backcourt.
Moussa Diabate remains in range with 30 P/R/A. However, with the blowout in full swing, it’s unlikely any of those three will see the floor for the rest of the game. Now we have to look elsewhere.
OG Anunoby is firmly in the race after putting up a big first half, and needs only seven more P/R/A in the second half to take the top spot. Can OG get ahead in the race? Or will another contender appear soon?
Balling Out
The dream of winning big with Diabate has become less realistic. Ball is up to 33 PRA midway through the third quarter, while Diabate is at 26. Brandon Miller is not far behind at 22.
A player to keep an eye on, however, is OG Anunoby. He has 21 PRA midway through the second quarter.
Big Winnings in Charlotte?
It’s halftime in the Hornets vs. Kings game and Diabate leads the pack with 25 PRA. He nearly matched his first quarter pace of 13 PRA. If he keeps this up, he’ll finish with around 50 PRA, which has historically been enough to win the contest.
Of course, it’s not a guaranteed win. Nikola Jokic will be the final major contender at 11 p.m. ET. If Diabate leads up to that point, he’ll have to hope Jokic has an off-night. Diabate bettors would yield $43.4k in bonus bets.
Early Leaders
It’s a small slate this Tuesday with the Hornets and Kings game kicking things off at 7 p.m. ET. A few players have established an early lead in King of the Court after the first quarter.
Moussa Diabate leads the pack with 13 PRA, while LaMelo Ball (11), Coby White (11) and Maxime Raynaud (10) are not too far behind. It’s incredibly early, even in a small slate, so don’t celebrate yet. Many more contenders have yet to tip off.
