DraftKings' King of the Court promo is back in 2025, returning on Wednesday, January 15 with a $1M prize pool.

With a giveaway offering $1 Million in bonus bets to share among those who correctly pick the King of the Court best bet, this continues to be one of the best promos in all of sportsbetting.

And the best part - you don’t even need to win the bet to cash in.

So how does that work? It's simple - opt in to the promotion and receive your 'King of the Court' 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 11 Wednesday night NBA games, you'll win your share of $1 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 $1 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 the original King of the Court run to return a $422 bonus bet.

Now, we get our first chance at the $1 Million prize in the year 2025.

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.
