This is a great night of hoops, as you have a number of big-time players you can place your King of the Court bet on, including:

• Luka Doncic
• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
• Victor Wembanyama
• Giannis Antetokounmpo

Instead, we're going to go with a guy who's had incredible usage in the absence of another superstar:

In Nikola Jokic's absence, Jamal Murray has averaged over 44 PRA per game, including a 34-point explosion against the Cleveland Cavaliers two weeks ago. Murray has taken over the role as the main facilitator with 16 and 17-assist games in that time span.

Tonight, he draws a pesky Pelicans team. With so many injuries on Denver, this isn't the Nuggets of old that should just dominate. With a spread of just 2.5 and the highest anticipated point total of tonight's slate, hopefully we can get a highly-contested, high-scoring barn burner, where Murray is needed for 38+ minutes.

Best Bet for King of the Court: Jamal Murray Double-Double (+116)
