The following week, the night’s top four PRA totals were all included in our targets.

With no Luka Doncic or Nikola Jokic in the game tonight, the field is wide open with a tight race atop the Dimers Pro NBA projections.

King of the Court chooses today, Tuesday, December 2

Each week we highlight some of Dimers’ most projected players, as well as some longshots as examples of what users can find in the Dimers Pro NBA Projections Hub.

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

As mentioned, three-time winner Luka Doncic and regular 50+ PRA contributor Nikola Jokic are not playing tonight, so there is a closer projection between the top three than usual.

Dimers’ highest projected PRA totals

Tyrese Maxey (76ers) | Projected: 41.9 PRA

Pacing the pack tonight is 76ers star Tyrese Maxey, who has been here a few times and ended up in the money once as King of the Court, albeit tied for the pot alongside Giannis.

Maxey leads all players tonight with a 41.1 PRA projection against the Wizards, who just so happened to be the team Maxey dropped 52 PRA on on October 28 when we identified him as a longshot target.

He’ll be much more popular tonight, as the Wizards have firmly established themselves as one of the worst defenses across the board in the NBA, 30th in points and rebounds and 29th in assists.

Maxey has as good a chance as any player to take the lead in the PRA totals tonight, with a chance to bag a double double just like he did last time out.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Thunder) | Projected: 41.1 PRA

Projecting just behind Maxey is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who will also face a team that returned a King of the Court on the opening night of the promo earlier this season.

Like most nights, SGA gets a projection of over 40 PRA based on the Dimers model as he has a 40-point lead every night, falling below 30 points only three times in all of November.

Without a player projecting a 50+ PRA tonight, the ceiling could be a little lower, which is good for the SGA because while he can score at will, he doesn’t always rack up the boards and assists that are a crucial part of cashing in on this promo – he only managed 50 PRA once last month.

Golden State held SGA to 28 points in their first meeting and despite their current 2-4 run, I only saw one opponent score more than 30 points.

Anthony Edwards (Timber Wolves) | Projected: 40.3 PRA

Rounding out the night’s top three is Anthony Edwards and his 40.3 PRA projection against the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Pels are a strong target for King of the Court, ranking 26th in opponent points, 25th in assists and 21st in rebounds.

Edwards is in the middle of a scoring battle, dropping 30+ in five straight games, including a pair of 40-point performances, one of which saw him drop 54 PRA (notably against the Kings who allowed a previous KotC winner).

He won’t get double-doubles, so he’ll need a strong scoring night and good distribution of boards and assists, but with our model projecting him as tonight’s three-point leader, a high-scoring performance is in play.

Dimers’ long-range goals

Deni Avdija (Trailblazers) | Projected: 39.2 PRA

He’s not a longshot in terms of projection, but Deni Avdija should be outside of the most popular picks tonight despite a projection that puts him among the best.

Avdija was one of the big winners last year, giving back more than $1,300 for the final King of the Court promotion in 2024-25 and he’s had a few matches that would put him in contention this year, like the 60 PRA match he just had on Sunday against the elite Thunder.

Tonight is his matchup against the Raptors, who have allowed the fourth-fewest points to any opponent this season, but that hasn’t slowed Deni down against the Thunder’s top-ranked unit. So far this season, he has two triple doubles and four double doubles, with double figures in both rebounds and assists each night.

It will take a big night for Avdija to keep pace, but the Raptors are around league average for opponents, especially for forwards.

Julius Randle (Timber Wolves) | Projected: 34.2 PRA

For our final objective, we go back to the Pelicans game with a look at Julius Randle.

Randle is just outside the top 10 on the night and is the second highest projected player in this game with 34.2 PRA. He could benefit from the soft matchup

Randle has five games with more than 30 points this season and he also has two triple doubles to his name. He has more rebound upside than anyone on this team aside from Rudy Gobert, and in the right matchup with things coming his way, 50 PRA is well within reach.
