DraftKings is back with King of the Court on Tuesday, turning one NBA slate into a race for a $1 million pool of bonus bets. The promotion runs every Tuesday during the regular season, but tonight’s entry deadline comes before the Portland Trail Blazers-Los Angeles Lakers tipoff at 11 p.m. ET, and the player who finishes with the most combined points, rebounds and assists will decide where the money goes.
That is why Luka Dončić is drawing so much attention. His line sits at 47.5 combined points, rebounds and assists, the highest on the board, after he put up 52 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists in a win over the Utah Jazz on Sunday. He also leads the league in points per game, and his 41.8% usage rate underlines how often the offense runs through him. For bettors looking at King of the Court, that matters because the promotion is built around all-around production, not just points.
The way it works is simple enough, though the payout is not. Users have to opt in, use their King of the Court token on a player prop bet or a same-player NBA parlay, and put at least $5 on it at odds of -200 or longer per leg. Once the token is used, the wager becomes an eligible entrant. If the selected player leads tonight’s slate in combined points, rebounds and assists, the user gets a share of the $1 million prize pool in bonus bets the next day. The size of that share depends on how many users backed that same player, so the pool is split proportionally rather than handed out as a flat prize.
That structure creates a wrinkle that is easy to miss: the wager itself does not have to win. DraftKings is effectively rewarding the player result, not the ticket result, which means a bet can miss and still return bonus bets if the tokened player finishes atop the slate in P/R/A. In the promotion’s example, Dončić hit at least four three-pointers at -124 on a bet that did not necessarily have to cash for the contest payout to apply. That is a different kind of risk than a standard prop, and it is the reason the token matters more than the final score of the wager.
Dončić is not the only name setting the pace. Jayson Tatum’s P/R/A over-under is 43.5, and Victor Wembanyama’s is 41.5, giving the night three stars at the top of the market. Tatum averaged 24.0 points per game so far in 2026/27 after averaging 21.8 points per game across 16 games last season, and he posted a career-high 15.3 combined rebounds and assists last season before opening this year at 14.7 per game. Those numbers keep him in the same conversation as Dončić when the promotion is judged by total production rather than points alone.
There is one more piece that sharpens the read on the slate. Damian Lillard and Ja Morant start a small back-court for Portland, but they rank in the bottom quartile in total contests per 100 possessions in the early part of the season. That makes the 47.5 mark on Dončić even more notable and explains why the market is centering on the biggest creators. By the time the Portland Trail Blazers-Los Angeles Lakers game tips, the token window closes, and the night becomes a simple scoreboard chase: whoever has the biggest combined total decides which users get paid in bonus bets.
