DraftKings “King of the Court” Picks include Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for $1 Million Jackpot on Tuesday, December 2

The fan-favorite King of the Court promotion is back at DraftKings Sportsbook on Tuesday, December 2, 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. The following week, the top four PRA totals of the night were all featured in our targets.

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

King of the Court Picks Today, Tuesday, December 2

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.

As mentioned, three-time winner Luka Doncic and regular 50+ PRA contributor Nikola Jokic aren't playing tonight, so there's 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's found himself in here a couple of times, cashing once as the King of the Court, although with a split pot alongside Giannis.

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

He'll be far 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 lead PRA totals tonight, with a chance to cash a double double like his 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 previously allowed a King of the Court back on the opening night of the promo this season.

Like most nights, SGA gets a projection of over 40 PRA from the Dimers model as he boasts nightly 40-point upside, going under 30 points just three times in all of November.

Without a player projecting for 50+ PRA tonight, the ceiling could be a little lower, which is good for SGA because while he can score at will, he doesn't always rack up the boards and assists, which are a crucial part of cashing this promo - he cleared 50 PRA just one once last month.

Golden State held SGA to 28 points in their first meeting and despite their current 2-4 run, have only seen one opponent put up 30+ points.

Anthony Edwards (Timberwolves) | Projected: 40.3 PRA

Rounding out the top three of the night is Anthony Edwards and his 40.3 PRA projection vs. the New Orleans Pelicans.

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

Edwards is in the midst of a scoring heater, 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 have allowed a previous KotC winner).

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

Dimers' Longshot Targets

Deni Avdija (Trail Blazers) | Projected: 39.2 PRA

He's not a longshot by projection, but Deni Avdija should be outside the most popular picks tonight, despite a projection that puts him right up there with the best.

Avdija was one of the big winners last year, returning over $1300 on the final King of the Court promo in 2024-25 and he's had a couple games that would put him in contention this year, like the 60 PRA game he just had on Sunday vs. the elite Thunder.

Tonight, his matchup is with the Raptors who allow the fourth-fewest opponent points this season, but that didn't slow Deni down vs. the Thunder's top-ranked unit. So far this season, he's recorded two triple doubles and four double doubles with nightly double-digit upside in both rebounds and assists.

It will take a big rebounding night for Avdija to keep pace, but the Raptors are right around league average for opponent boards, particularly to forwards.

Julius Randle (Timberwolves) | Projected: 34.2 PRA

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

Ranked just outside the top 10 of the night, Randle is the second-highest projected player in this game with 34.2 PRA and could take advantage of the soft matchup

Randle has five games with over 30 points this season and he's also bagged two triple doubles. He has more rebound upside than anyone on this team besides Rudy Gobert and in the right matchup with things falling his way, 50 PRA is well within reach.
