You have a number of star players you can place your King of the Court bet on, including, but not limited to:

• Tyrese Maxey
• Luka Doncic
• Cade Cunningham

And while the star players have their obvious reasons to back them, it can be a smart maneuver to go a little "off the board" to earn a bigger share of the $1 Million Bonus Bet pool.

Joe Dellera is high on Lauri Markkanen tonight against the Celtics:

The Utah Jazz face off against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night. This is a matchup between two teams that take the highest frequency of three-pointers and have middling rebounding rates.

Given the matchup and Boston’s relative size, I’m targeting Lauri Markkanen to crash the glass.

This is a matchup where I can see Utah electing to play a bit smaller since Boston primarily has Queta on the interior.

Lauri already recorded nine rebounds against Boston back in November of this season, and I can see that carrying over tonight.

Although he’s been out most of the season, it’s relevant to remove the data with Walker Kessler for Lauri this season. In games without Kessler, Lauri has cleared 6.5 rebounds in 14-of-22 games.

This presents a slight buy-low opportunity as well, with Lauri coming off two tougher rebounding matchups against the Pistons and the Spurs.

Best Bet for King of the Court: Lauri Markkanen Over 6.5 Rebounds (-130)
