The fan-favorite King of the Court promotion is back at DraftKings Sportsbook to tip off the new NBA season, giving fans a chance to turn smart NBA prop bets into a share of $2 million in Bonus Bets.

Running on Wednesday this season, this year’s King of the Court promo is bigger than ever and tips off the new season with a special Tuesday night promo, upgraded from $1 Million to $2 Million — and 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.

If your chosen player leads all others in Points + Rebounds + Assists (PRA) for the night, you’ll take home a share of $2 million in Bonus Bets — even if your original prop doesn’t cash.

DraftKings King of the Court Promo offers a $2M bonus bet pool.

How to Play “King of the Court” This NBA Season

1. Opt-In to the Promotion - Log in to your DraftKings Sportsbook account and opt in to receive your single-use King of the Court qualifying bet token.

2. Place a Qualifying $5 Bet - Use your token on any pre-match NBA player prop such as Points, Rebounds, Assists or Three-Pointers. Odds must be -200 or longer.
