How to Play King of the Court

King of the Court Preview & Pick | Wednesday, November 27

Leaders in projected points, rebounds & assists totals

  • Nikola Jokic: 51.5
  • LaMelo Ball: 46.5
  • Anthony Davis: 42.5
  • Franz Wagner: 41.5
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 41.5
  • Kyrie Irving: 39.5

Jeff’s King of the Court Pick for Wednesday, November 27: LaMelo Ball

A lot of people are going to ride with Nikola Jokic for King of the Court tonight, and understandably so. After all, the man is averaging a 30-point triple-double on the season.

As a result, there should be a little bit of value on the player with the next-highest projected PRA total in Ball. LaMelo has racked up 65 and 60 points, rebounds and assists over his last two contests. He’s received a ridiculous usage rate as of late, eclipsing 44% in three straight outings.

I expect Ball to be a stat-stuffing machine once again vs. the Heat, who are on the second night of a back-to-back.
