DraftKings' King of the Court promo is back for Christmas Day Wednesday, December 25th, with a $2 Million prize pool.

With a bonus bet giveaway double the size of the original $1M prize pool, this is the biggest King of the Court day yet. 

This was already one of the best promos in all of sportsbetting – you don’t even need to win the bet to cash in - and it just got even better.

So how does that work? Simple - opt in to the promotion and receiver your 'King of the Court' profit boost token. Pick any player prop you choose, apply your token to the pick in your betslip, and meet the wager requirements. If the player you bet on is that day's PRA (points + rebounds + assists) leader across all five NBA Christmas Day games, you'll win your share of $2 Million in bonus bets.

No matter if your initial bet wins or loses, if the player you chose is that night's King of the Court, then you'll earn an even share of the $2 Million bonus.

In the initial run, the bonus bets giveaways ranged from the low double digits up to $1,670 for when LeBron James was King of the Court on Day 5. When James Harden was the King  of the Court, he returned a $1,141 bonus bet.

Our own social media admin shared his winning pick of Cade Cunningham in the Dimers Pro Discord for the final week of King of the Court to return a $422 bonus bet.

Now, with a doubled prize pool, the bonuses could be huge.

NBA Betting Strategy - King of the Court

There are multiple ways to approach this promo and you can take a chance on a longshot if you're daring enough.

The first thing to do is identify which players have the best chance to be King of the Court - we can do this by using our individual NBA Predictions and the DimersBOT projected boxscores to tally up each player's PRA total. This will give us a better idea of who to bet on. 

Then, you've got to pick your player and identify which prop bet you want to place on them. This can range from a longshot alternate points line or a straight bet on their o/u rebounds, assists or similar. The choice is completely up to you.

We recommend using our list of Top 10 projected PRA totals below, which comes from our Dimers Pro NBA Cheat Sheet, then using our Dimers Best NBA Propsto find a bet with value for the player you choose. This way, even if your player doesn't win King of the Court, you can still make a smart bet and go for some value.
