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
• Anthony Edwards
• Victor Wembanyama

Let's wind back the clock and go with a future NBA Hall-of-Famer in a spot that should have relatively lower exposure versus some of those top options:

The Brow has started hitting his stride offensively, reaching 26+ points in three of his last five games.

It's always nerve-racking betting on Davis, considering his laundry list of an injury history. But considering AD is at the forefront of trade talks once again, there's an incentive for him to stay on the court and play well while he's a Mav.

And more importantly, this is a smash spot. The Kings are among the worst rebounding teams in basketball, and lack any sort of interior presence on defense.

Let's hope for a highly competitive game, where Davis plays 35+ minutes.

Best Bet for King of the Court: Anthony Davis 35+ Points (+600)
