DraftKings NBA promo "King of the Court" returns every Tuesday this season with a $1 Million bonus bet jackpot.

It's Tuesday in the NBA which means the fan-favorite King of the Court promotion is back at DraftKings Sportsbook on January 20, 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. Our best night so far came when the top four PRA totals of the night were all featured in our targets.

DraftKings "King of the Court" offers a $1 Million Jackpot.

King of the Court Picks Today, Tuesday, January 20

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.

Dimers' Highest-Projected PRA Totals

Luka Doncic (Lakers) | Projected: 47.9 PRA

Once again, Luka Doncic leads our top overall projections, though at a slightly lower total than we've seen lately.

He's always a threat to lead the night, but his past three games have seen him finish below the 50-point threshold that's been the floor for any King of the Court winner so far.

Still, the Dimers model projects him as the night's top points scorer with 32.5 and the second-highest assist total on the night at 8.1 vs. the Nuggets.

James Harden (Clippers) | Projected: 41.2 PRA

Moving to those who could challenge the top overall leader, James Harden lands second in our projections at 41.2 PRA, fresh off a 52 PRA performance vs. the Wizards.

Harden dropped 30+ points in back-to-back games with Kawhi Leonard out, and that's despite abysmal 2-17 shooting from three-point range.

If he can dial in from deep tonight vs. the Bulls, he could find himself pushing close to another 30-point triple -double as he did last night.

Harden's best games this year - 56 PRA, 66 PRA, 52 PRA, 65 PRA - all came during a two-week stretch in November, all with Kawhi Leonard out. He just had his best game since that run without Leonard once again, and could be primed for another run of big games.

Anthony Edwards (Timberwolves) | Projected: 41.1 PRA

Ranking third in today's PRA totals by the slimmest of margins is Anthony Edwards, who previously won King of the Court when ranked third in this article, returning a $108 bonus bet.

Edwards draws a projection of 41.1 PRA, a mark he obliterated in his alst game with a 55-point outing, totaling 62 PRA.

His biggest outings are anchored by huge scoring performances - he's the fifth-highest scorer in the league but ranks outside the top 60 in the NBA in both assists and rebounds.

That can be enough for him though; when he won the King of the Court on December 2, he recorded 44 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and he's shown multi-game stretches of 40-point upside more than once this season.

With just one game over 35 points since Christmas, he could be heating up after his latest outing, and gets a prime matchup with the Jazz who rank dead last in the NBA in Points, AST and threes made over their past 7 games and the entire season.

Dimers' Longshot Targets

Jamal Murray (Nuggets) | Projected: 39.2 PRA

We aren't looking too far outside the top of the board for our "longshot" picks, starting with Jamal Murray who ranks 5th overall with 39.2 PRA. He's listed as probable for tonight vs. Los Angeles.

Murray came up 4 PRA short of the crown the last time he was featured in this article with 46, then turned in a 51 PRA performance this past Saturday.

His career-best numbers across the board continue and he gets his first crack at the Lakers tonight, which could set up for a duel between top scorers of Luka and Murray.

Murray could find himself in a shootout with a Lakers team allowing 28.1 points and 4.5 three made per game over their past seven games

Julius Randle (Timberwolves) | Projected: 37.5 PRA

For our final target, we'll go back to that same great matchup for Anthony Edwards and look at the outlook for his teammate Julius Randle.

Randle isn't a dominant scorer like Edwards, but can put up numbers with seven 30-point games this season, his best coming this past Friday with 39 points.

He also has the advantage of double-digit rebounding upside and has two triple-doubles this year, so he's not reliant on scoring big points like Edwards.

It's worth noting his two triple doubles came on below-average scoring nights (19 points) but one of them came against this very Utah team (most REB and AST allowed to forwards last seven games) and he just needs a few more buckets to raise his PRA ceiling.
