King of the Court Picks Today, Tuesday, October 28

Each week, we'll highlight some of Dimers' top-projected players, as well as some longshots as a sample of what users can find in the  Dimers Pro NBA Projections Hub.

By showcasing a combination of top performances and some darkhorse candidates, bettors will find a mix of players to choose from.

Dimers' Highest-Projected PRA Totals

Giannis Anteokoumpo (Bucks) | Projected: 50.7 PRA

A two-time "King of the Court" last season, the Greek Freak is our highest-projected player tonight and is a nightly contender to lead the stat sheet. He led all winners last year with a single-game PRA total of 80.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Thunder)  | Projected: 42.3 PRA

SGA won last season and returned an $85 bonus bet for his backers. Already posting dominant performances this season, SGA has reached as high as 68 PRA vs. the Pacers.

LaMelo Ball (Hornets) | Projected: 40.4 PRA

The biggest winner last season of these top targets, Ball returned over a $1,000 in bonus bets with his 53 PRA performance as the second-ever King of the Court. Ball is coming off a night with 64 PRA vs. the Wizards in his last game.

Dimers' Longshot Targets

Tyrese Maxey (76ers) | Projected: 38.4

Maxey sits in our second tier of projected PRA totals but has shown plenty of upside already this season. HE has two 40+ point games, including a 55 PRA total performance last night. He'll now face the Wizards who allowed the big 64 PRA night to LaMelo Ball.

James Harden (Clippers)  | Projected: 32.6 PRA

For a real longshot, look at the Clippers veteran who won the crown last year, returning $1,141 in bonus bets with a vintage Harden performance of 54 PRA. He's our 13th-ranked total tonight, however he will face a Warriors team that's given up 130 points in 2/4 games and are allowing the second-most assists and on a back-to-back.
