To compete for the jackpot, simply opt in to the DraftKings promo to claim your King of the Court token. If your chosen player leads all others in Points + Rebounds + Assists (PRA) for the night, you’ll take home a share of $1 million in Bonus Bets — even if your original prop doesn’t cash.

With the help of the Dimers Pro NBA Projections Hub, you can instantly identify which players have the best shot to dominate the stat sheet. Whether you’re backing weekly favorites like Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, or turning to a darkhorse contender, you’ll have real-time analytics and NBA projections to support every pick.

The Dimers' projections have been red hot for this promo so far. We nailed the picks two weeks in a row correctly identifying both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Tyrese Maxey as top targets who split the prize pool, and then identifying Josh Giddey as the top longshot play for a $94 bet. Our best night came when the top four PRA totals of the night were all featured in our targets.

King of the Court Picks Today, Tuesday, January 6

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

Luka Doncic (Lakers) | Projected: 50.0 PRA

It should come as no surprise that Luka Doncic leads today's PRA totals - he's regularly atop the leaderboard and has already won King of the Court three times this season.

On top of that, he draws one of the best stat-padding matchups in the NBA vs. the New Orleans Pelicans, who rank 28th in opponent scoring, 29th in opponent assists and 24th in opponent rebounds.

Since the start of December, Doncic has at least 50 PRA in 5 of 11 games. We've seen a couple of vintage scoring games from LeBron James this year, but he hasn't shown the PRA upside needed to cash this promo, leaving Doncic as the clear target in this matchup.

He has a strong case to wear the crown for the fourth time this year, but might be as popular as ever, returning a minimal bonus bet.

Paolo Banchero (Magic) | Projected: 42.6 PRA

We have a two-way tie between the other players rounding out our top three PRA totals and we'll start by looking at the Magic's Paolo Banchero.

Banchero finds himself in a favorable matchup vs. the Washington Wizards who allowed an early King of the Court winner to Tyrese Maxey (who we called out that night), and rank 28th or worse in the NBA in all three PTS, REB and AST categories.

They're notably vulnerable to forwards grabbing rebounds, which will be a key stat for Banchero to push for the PRA lead tonight, and would be a solid ladder target play.

The Magic will also be without Jalen Suggs, who left Friday's game early with an MCL injury, and Banchero has had two of his best scoring outings of the season since then, including that game.

Anthony Davis (Mavericks) | Projected: 42.6 PRA

Rounding out the top three is Mavericks' big man Anthony Davis in another great matchup.

The Mavs will face the Kings who rank 25th, 26th and 27th in opponent REB, AST and PTS, respectively. 

Against centers specifically, they allow 24.7 points and 15.2 rebounds per game - Davis recently recorded 52 PTS and REB alone vs. a team with similar weaknesses, the New Orleans Pelicans.

As our top-projected rebounder of the night, bettors should consider targeting Davis' boards for value and as their King of the Court entry play.

Dimers' Longshot Targets

Evan Mobley (Cavaliers) | Projected: 32.2 PRA

For our longshots, we're going a bit down the board to target some weak defenses, beginning with Evan Mobley of the Cavaliers vs. the Indiana Pacers.

Mobley should see some higher scoring volume tonight with Donovan Mitchell out, which could also keep this game a little closer and avoid any blowout situations.

Mobley's real upside lies in his rebounding ability, as he just four games this year with more than 5 assists, but has 14 double doubles by way of rebounds.

Indiana owns a bottom-six scoring defense and ranks 28th in opponent rebounds and bottom-five in both categories to forwards.

It will take everything to go right for Mobley (and some things wrong for the other stars), but he would return a big bonus if he takes the crown.

Look for him to hit plus-money rebounds or points for your entry play.

Cooper Flagg (Mavericks) | Projected: 31.9 PRA

We close it out with a look at the rookie Cooper Flagg, who has put up some monster numbers in his first NBA season.

Since November 29, Flagg has tallied games of 33, 35 and 42 points and saw his his scoring average jump by over six points per game from November to December, and his two biggest PRA performances came in the past two weeks, tallying 55 vs. the Jazz and 51 vs. the Nuggets, though he's on a quiet stretch over his past three games.

Tonight, he gets that same weak Kings matchup as Anthony Davis and since he'll need a big night across the board, consider his 30+ points or 10+ rebounds as anchor plays, or split the difference with a +340 double double play.
