DraftKings NBA promo "King of the Court" returns on Tuesdays this season with a $1 Million bonus bet jackpot.

The fan-favorite King of the Court promotion is back at DraftKings Sportsbook on Tuesday, November 18, giving fans a chance to turn smart NBA player prop bets into a share of $1 million in Bonus Bets.

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.

And last week, the top four PRA totals of the night were all featured in our targets.

King of the Court Picks Today, Tuesday, November 18

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: 48.8 PRA

Tonight's top overall projected player, and likely the most popular pick, is Luka Doncic with a 48.8 PRA projection from the Dimers model.

Luka was this year's first King of the Court with a monster 64 PRA performance on opening night.

Since then, he's gone over 50 PRA in six of his nine games and over 60 in a pair.

He has as much upside as anyone and his scoring alone could beat most players on tonight's slate.

He'll face the Jazz who allow the third-most points to opposing teams and the most assists in the NBA. It will be tough for anyone to beat Luka tonight.

Cade Cunningham (Pistons) | Projected: 44.7 PRA

Next up, and not too far behind Luka, is Cade Cunningham who is currently listed as a game-time decision vs. the Hawks tonight, after sitting out three games following his 46/12/11 game vs. the Wizards last Monday.

Cunningham's status is up in the air, but his status as a top player in this league is not. He's putting up career-high scoring and assist numbers, seeing him hit a double-double in seven games this season.

His nightly double-digit assist upside puts him in contention and it wouldn't be his first time wearing the crown - he returned over a $400 bonus bet last season with a King of the Court victory.

The Hawks' defense is solid and they are stingy with opponent assists, allowing the seventh-fewest points per game and just 25.9 assists, so Cunningham will have to be on the top of his game to push 50 PRA numbers.

Devin Booker (Suns) | Projected: 38.9 PRA

Rounding out our top three overall is Devin Booker of the Suns with a 38.9 PRA projection vs. the Trail Blazers tonight.

Booker has hit PRA totals of 49 and 51 as his peak numbers this year, which on their own are unlikely to win King of the Court - 52 is the lowest winning total this year and it was a tie.

Still, he's putting up some of the best averages of his career so far, with the exception of his three-point shooting which is at a six-year low in terms of both volume and scoring.

He's got a decent chance to push for his best scoring night of the season vs. a Blazers team ranked bottom five in scoring defense, but his other stats may come at a premium. Despite their current 1-5 run, the Blazers haven't seen an opponent hit 50 PRA in that span and are allowing the fewest AST to PG at 6.9 per game.

Dimers' Longshot Targets

Austin Reaves (Lakers)  | Projected: 36.7 PRA

If you're looking for a challenger to Luka's top projection, why not look at his teammate, Austin Reaves?

Reaves sits at sixth overall in our PRA projections at 36.7 and has two games this season with 50+ PRA, including a total of 71 vs. the Kings earlier this seaosn.

Both came in games without Luka Doncic, but Reaves has still put up numbers when both are in the lineup, with games of 41 and 42 PRA. 

Those marks won't be enough to capture the crown, but it gives him the upside against the aforementioned Jazz defense that is among the most vulnerable in the NBA.

If Reaves attacks them with the deep ball tonight, he could shoot up the leaderboard - Utah allows the most three-pointers made to opponents.

Jaylen Brown (Celtics) | Projected: 35.5 PRA

To finish off our longshots, we're going to go with our top-projected player in the best matchup on paper and that's Jaylen Brown of the Celtics vs. the Nets.

Our seventh-highest projected total of the night at 35.5 PRA, Brown has flashed the 50 PRA upside despite not being a nightly assist or rebound machine - he's recorded 51 earlier this season and 49 in his most recent game.

The Nets are ranked 24th in opponent PTS, 28th in opponent AST and 21st in opponent REB. We attacked the Nets with Scottie Barnes last week and despite early foul trouble, he hit 31 PRA, including a double double.

Brown will need everything to click and surpass his usual rebound and assist numbers, but those looking for a chance at a bigger bonus could look here.
