The NBA has returned from the All Star break and entered the final stretch of the year with teams bidding for playoff positioning. But the league is far from the only thing heating up right now. DraftKings’ King of the Court competition is drawing in NBA fans and gamblers alike.
Every Tuesday through 3/3, bettors can place a special $5 token on any NBA player’s prop bet. If that player leads the league in points plus rebounds plus assists that night, the bettor gets a share of one to two million dollars along with any other bettor.
So now that you know the rules, here are some players to keep an eye on.
Nikola Jokic
There should be no surprise that Jokic is on this list. The three time MVP has arguably been the best basketball player of the last 15 years and easily the best center since Shaq. Shaq and Jokic may both be dominant centers but that is where the comparison stops. Whereas Shaq was a dominant force down low, Jokic looks to spread the floor and get his entire team involved. The current leader in assists and rebounds per game, Jokic is a walking triple double threat on any night.
Victor Wembanyama
Another European big man finds himself near the top of this list. Wembanyama might not be at Jokic’s level yet, but he is also far ahead of where Jokic was at the same age. The French Freak is a triple double threat in his own right, with many believing he could become the first player since David Robinson to record a quadruple double.
Luka Doncic
The story of the NBA last season was not the Thunder’s championship but rather one of the most unexpected and shocking trades in league history when Luka was traded to the Lakers late at night. Luka is now the most talented player on the roster, surpassing an aging LeBron as the best scorer in Los Angeles. He currently leads the NBA in points per game and ranks third in assists. He may not have the rebounding ability of Wembanyama or Jokic, but neither can match Luka’s ability to score from anywhere on the floor.
