DraftKings’ King of the Court promotion gives you a different way to evaluate an NBA slate because the entire contest revolves around one question. Which player will finish the night with the highest combined total of points, rebounds, and assists across all games.
You are not competing through a lineup build. You are not stacking games. You are simply choosing the one player who posts the biggest PRA number. DraftKings splits a large bonus bet prize pool among everyone who picks the corr...
