How to Play Queen of the Court on DraftKings Sportsbook
Queen of the Court will be awarded to whichever player on the night of the contest finishes with the most combined points, rebounds, and assists (also referred to as PRA). Bettors can take up to two shots at Queen of the Court on each slate.
All bettors who want to play in the contest will opt in to receive a profit boost token, which can only be used on a pre-match single bet or a pre-match two-leg parlay/SGP. Along with the profit boost, token usage will also act as a customer’s entry into the Queen of the Court contest. Bettors must select the profit boost token in their betslip before placing the qualifying bet to apply the promotion.
The bet(s) must be on a player prop market for that night. Here are some examples:
- Potential Single Bet: Caitlin Clark over 29.5 points
- Potential Parlay: Caitlin Clark over 29.5 points and Angel Reese over 8 rebounds
- Potential SGP: Caitlin Clark over 29.5 points and Sophie Cunningham under 3 assists
Each bet placed as part of this promotion must have -200 odds or longer (-150, +125, etc.).
If a customer used their profit boost token on the player who was named Queen of the Court for that night, you split the nightly $500K prize pool with the pool of customers who also took that player. (Example: If 10k bettors used their token on Satou Sabally and she is named the Queen of the Court, those bettors will each receive a $50 bonus bet the following morning.) If multiple players tie for the top spot on the board, all bettors who included the players that tied will receive equal portions of the prize pool.

WHAT. A. COMEBACK!!!! Aliyah Boston took matters into her own hands in the fourth quarter against the Seattle Storm. Needing 10+ PRA in the fourth quarter to tie or beat Angel Reese, she did just that, and then some. The center finished with 31 points, eight rebounds, and three assists.
On a night when Caitlin Clark couldn’t get it going, Boston flat-out dominated to hand the Fever a big win. It also gives her the first-ever Queen of the Court crown. She finished with 42 total points + rebounds + assists. That means all Aliyah Boston qualified slip holders will take home a share of $500K in bonus bets. Congrats to all of our winners!
Update: 11:41 p.m. ET
The third quarter of the Indiana-Seattle game has ended. Things are coming down to the wire.
Fever teammates Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell were tied with 20 PRA at halftime. After three, they’re still tied, this time at 31. Both are narrowly on pace to beat Angel Reese and her 41 PRA to take the Queen of the Diamond crown at the last minute.
Can this vaunted Seattle Storm defense put a lid on Mitchell and Boston? Will one or both catch Angel and be the first Queen of the Court? Tune in for the fourth quarter to find out.
Update: 11:02 p.m. ET
Angel Reese bettors, you are almost there. Just twenty more minutes.
Caitlin Clark would be the first answer if you asked a WNBA fan who in the Fever-Storm game would challenge Angel’s PRA of 41. Nneka Ogwumike would be the second. But it’s Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell leading the charge. The former has 14 points and six rebounds, while the latter has 15/4/1.
It’s a lot to ask for those numbers to keep up, but crazier things have happened. Stay tuned as we close in on crowning our first Queen of the Court winner.
Update: 10:10 p.m. ET
It was a furious race to the finish in the early window. Alanna Smith held the lead for a while, but fizzled out in the fourth quarter. She and teammate Jessica Shepard tied with 31 PRA. Shakira Austin slowed up as well to end with 30 PRA.
In the Dream-Wings game, Rhyne Howard led with 31 PRA, recording 23 points and eight rebounds. That was a low-scoring affair that produced few big stat lines.
The real story was in the Sparks-Sky contest. Azura Stevens led that game early, but was overwhelmed by the Chicago frontcourt. Angel Reese poured it on with 18 points, 17 rebounds, and six assists for 41 PRA. Her best competition was teammate Kamilla Cardoso, who racked up 27 points, seven boards, and three dimes for 37 total PRA.
It will be a tall task for any Fever or Storm player to outdo Angel tonight. Stay tuned as that game is well underway.
Update: 9:25 p.m. ET
Alanna Smith CANNOT be stopped. After scoring 13 straight points for the Lynx in the first half, she picked up where she left off with seven points and counting in the third quarter. She’s up to 32 total PRA and leading the field.
Her lead is growing, but it’s not safe. Her teammate Jessica Shepard has 28 PRA. Azura Stevens has 26 PRA, Shakira Austin has 25, and Rhyne Howard has 22. Keep an eye on Wings center Li Yueru, who has a double-double and 23 total PRA. Angel Reese may also have something to say with 26 PRA after a hot third quarter.
Update: 8:50 p.m. ET
As we head into halftime for the three early games, some clear leaders are taking shape. Azura Stevens continues to cook, with 17 points, four rebounds, and two assists. Alanna Smith tied her with 18 points, four rebounds, and an assist. Their 23 PRA marks lead our slate in the early going. But there are other contenders.
Shakira Austin is putting in work for the Mystics. She has 13 points and five rebounds at halftime. She’s going off in the paint with Napheesa Collier out of the lineup. And Rhyne Howard, who our own Meghan Townsley picked for Queen of the Court tonight, has 12 points and five rebounds.
We’ve got some great contenders in the early going. Let’s see who can take the lead before tonight’s Fever-Storm game closes out the slate.
Update: 8:15 p.m. ET
We have some early contenders as three games tip off in the early window. Alanna Smith of the Minnesota Lynx is absolutely cooking in the early going. She has 13 points, two rebounds, and an assist in the first quarter.
She’s not the only one coming out of the gate hot. Azura Stevens knocked down the first bucket of the Sparks-Sky game, and has 10 points to go with a rebound and an assist.
As our games roll on, the PRA will pile up. Stick with us tonight as we break down the leaders.
Stay Tuned Here!
