DraftKings' King of the Court promo has been one of the most entertaining ways to bet on the NBA this year and if you're using Dimers' projections, it's also been one of the most profitable.

How to use NBA projections for King of the Court betting
Dimers NBA projections have been elite at predicting King of the Court winners.

On Tuesdays during the NBA season, DraftKings Sportsbook hands bettors a free shot at a share of millions in Bonus Bets through its fan-favorite King of the Court promotion. The concept is simple: opt in, place a $5 qualifying NBA player prop, and if your player leads all NBA players in combined Points + Rebounds + Assists (PRA) that night, you claim your share of the prize pool.

Simple concept. But picking the right player? That's where the data provided by Dimers Pro makes all the difference and with upgraded bonus bet pools of $2M available each week for the rest of the season, there's no better time to lock in a Dimers Pro subscription.


The numbers don't lie: Dimers' PRA projections dominate

Take a look at this season's King of the Court winner history, and one pattern jumps off the page immediately: nearly every single winner ranked inside Dimers' Top 8 overall PRA projections for that night.

Of the 24 players to share a piece of the crown this year, six of them have finished outside our Top 8. Of the remaining 18, only four were outside the Top 5.

That makes a 75% hit rate for a Top 8 player, and 58% for a Top 5.

That's not a coincidence, but a signal that you should be looking first and foremost at the Dimers Pro NBA Projections Hub when selecting your King of the Court champion.

A sample of the Dimers Pro NBA Projections Hub.

From Luka Doncic's dominant 65 PRA night on November 25 (Dimers' #1 ranked player that evening) to Victor Wembanyama's 54 PRA on February 10 (#2 ranked), to Anthony Edwards' 53 PRA on December 2 (#3 ranked), Dimers' projections have had a remarkable track record of identifying the game's most likely statistical monsters before tip-off.

Even on multi-winner weeks like the "Three Kings" promo which was offered on December 23 and March 3, the latter of which saw Anthony Edwards, Paolo Banchero, and Luka Doncic all qualify, Dimers' projections flagged them all as Top 6 options.

Simply put, if your King of the Court candidate isn't in Dimers' Top 8 PRA projections for the night, you're fighting the data.

Take a look at the full data on this season's winners to date, with players identified in Dimers' weekly articles noted in bold.

How Dimers Pro Gives You the Edge

Before placing your King of the Court token, your first stop should be the Dimers Pro NBA Projections Hub, the most powerful tool available for identifying nightly PRA leaders before the games tip off.

The Hub provides real-time player projections for Points, Rebounds, Assists, and combined PRA, giving you a data-backed look at who is most likely to dominate the stat sheet or excel in a particular category. You can sort by category, compare player projections directly to sportsbook lines, and instantly identify the highest-value prop bets powered by Dimers' advanced simulations.

Here's what makes it a must-use resource for King of the Court specifically:

  • Projected PRA Rankings — See which players Dimers projects as the night's top statistical performers, sorted and ready to act on.
  • Line Comparison — Identify players who are projected to significantly outperform their posted prop lines, giving you a double edge: a smart prop bet and a strong King of the Court candidate.
  • Real-Time Updates — Projections adjust for late lineup news, injury reports, and game-time decisions, so you're always working with the freshest available data.

In short, the Dimers Pro NBA Projections Hub turns instinct into informed strategy — and for a promotion where picking the right player can be worth a share of millions, that edge is everything.

Two key trends from this season's King of the Court history

1. The elite can repeat

Luka Doncic has claimed the King of the Court crown five times this season (Oct. 21, Nov. 18, Nov. 25, Jan. 20, March 3), and the overall winner list reads like an NBA All-Star ballot: Nikola Jokic, Anthony Edwards, Victor Wembanyama, Anthony Edwards (2x winner), Paolo Banchero (2x winner). The lesson: targeting the league's true statistical powerhouses, night in and night out, is the highest-percentage strategy.

These players produce elite PRA totals not by accident, but as the natural output of their game.

2. 50+ PRA is a common floor

Scanning the season's results, the threshold to win King of the Court on a standard night has consistently required 50+ PRA, except a handful of times, and only one player has cracked 60+ (Luka's 65 on Nov. 25, his 64 on Oct. 21, his 61 on Jan. 20), while most winners landed in the 50–57 range.

This means you don't necessarily need to chase a transcendent performance, but you do need to identify a player likely to deliver a strong all-around line, and Dimers' PRA projections are built precisely for this.


Bottom line: Don't bet on King of the Court without Dimers Pro

In short, the Dimers Pro NBA Projections Hub turns your instincts into informed wagers — helping you pick your King with confidence.

There's no better time to lock in Dimers Pro wither, as DraftKings has upgraded the bonus bet pools for King of the Court Tuesdays from $1M to $2M every week from March 10 through April 7.
