If you are looking for a way to add some extra excitement to your NBA Tuesday, DraftKings King of the Court is one of the better promotions on the board. It is free to enter in the sense that you are already betting on player props, and the upside is a share of a prize pool that can reach into the millions. The key is picking the right player, and on February 24 there are some names worth building around.
Here is a breakdown of the players worth targeting tonight, starting with a few names that stand out above the rest.
How King of the Court Works
King of the Court is a weekly Tuesday promotion on DraftKings. Here is how it runs:
Opt in on the DraftKings promotions page before placing your bet Place a $5 or more wager on any NBA player prop at odds of -200 or longer Apply the King of the Court token to that wager If your player finishes the night with the highest combined points, rebounds, and assists (PRA) among all NBA players, you win a share of the prize poolThe prize pool typically ranges from $1 million to $3 million and is split among all winning entries. Winnings are paid out in bonus bets the following day. Importantly, your original bet does not need to win. You just need your player to lead the night in PRA.
On some weeks, DraftKings expands the promotion to cover the top three PRA leaders, which gives you a wider path to a payout and makes targeting popular, high-usage players even more valuable.
King of the Court Picks for Feb. 24
Jalen Johnson, Atlanta Hawks
Jalen Johnson has emerged as one of the more reliable fantasy contributors on the Hawks this season. He has been logging significant minutes and producing across multiple stat categories, which is exactly what you want from a King of the Court pick.
Johnson brings value through a combination of points, rebounds, and assists. He is not just a scorer, which means his fantasy floor is more stable than a player who relies entirely on volume shooting. On nights when his shot is not falling, he can still contribute through the glass and as a playmaker.
Keep an eye on his matchup and expected minutes heading into tip-off. If he is projected for heavy usage, he’s a really strong play.

Anthony Edwards is one of the most explosive scorers in the league right now. When he gets going, he has the kind of ceiling that can carry your King of the Court play. He regularly eclipses 30 points and adds value through assists and some odd rebounds.
The risk with Edwards is inconsistency. Some nights he takes over games, and other nights the shot just does not fall at the same rate. That said, his usage rate and role on the Timberwolves make him a high-upside option any night he suits up.
If Minnesota is in a game where pace is expected to be up-tempo, Edwards becomes even more attractive.

Beyond Johnson and Edwards, there are a few other names worth considering depending on your risk tolerance.
Players to monitor include:
High-usage guards in favorable matchups against teams giving up points in the paint or at the perimeter Big men playing against weaker frontcourts who can rack up rebounds and put-back points Players returning from rest or minor injuries who may see inflated minutesCheck the injury reports before locking in your pick.

The biggest mistake players make in King of the Court is blindly stacking the highest-scoring names without thinking about matchups or player roles. A few things to keep in mind:
Pace matters. Fast-paced games produce more possessions, which means more opportunities for your players to rack up stats.
Roles matter. A player averaging 18 points a game as the primary option is more reliable than someone averaging 20 points who splits usage with two other stars.
Recency matters. A player who has been on a hot streak over the last five to seven games is often a safer pick than someone due for a bounce-back game based on season averages alone.
