DraftKings will be running it’s popular King of the Court promo on tonight’s seven-game NBA slate. Users who opt have the chance to split $1 million in bonus bets by placing a player prop bet on the DraftKings Sportsbook on the player who ultimately leads that night in total points, rebounds and assists.
Seems simple enough, right? Why wouldn’t you just place a bet and use your token on the highest usage option on that slate and call it a day? Well, the bonus bet split is smaller depending on how popular the player is with the betting public, so there could be some value in taking a contrarian approach. That means no Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, or James Harden, or Joel Embiid picks in this article.
With that in mind, here are a couple under the radar King of the Court picks for Tuesday night’s basketball action.
King of the Court Value Picks
Dillon Brooks, Phoenix Suns
I’m not sure I ever thought I’d be writing about Brooks in this capacity, yet injuries have created a void in Phoenix that someone has to fill. Devin Booker (ankle) was forced to leave Friday’s loss against the Hawks, while Jalen Green exited the same contest after re-aggravating a hamstring issue that’s already cost him a majority of 2025-26 — though the latter is technically listed as questionable for this evening’s tilt versus the Nets. That sort of leaves Brooks as to clear No. 1 option in this offense. With Booker off the floor this season, Brooks is actually in possession of a gigantic 34.6% usage rate, which makes his counting stat ceiling quite high. To wit, in Monday’s loss to Miami, the veteran wing easily led the Suns in minutes (36.4), points (26) and field goal attempts (23). If Brooks can get hot from beyond the arc and grab a couple extra rebounds, that’s the exact type of profile that can win King of the Court. It definitely doesn’t hurt that the Nets own the league’s fifth-worst defensive rating, either (117.9). It should be a matchup that Brooks can exploit.
Associated Prop Bet: Dillon Brooks 22+ Points (-111)
Isaiah Collier, Utah Jazz
We’re swinging for like a five-digit bonus bet with this pick. As everyone in Utah is well-aware, the Jazz’s first-round draft pick in 2026 is top eight protected. That means Utah is once again unabashedly tanking in the middle of the regular season. Specifically for tonight’s contest against the Clippers, the Jazz have decided to rest breakout star Keyonte George, who has only missed one other game in 2025-26. On top of that, Lauri Markkanen is questionable due to conditioning, which would limit his impact if he ends up available, while Jusuf Nurkic is doubtful because of an illness. For those keeping track at home, that’s the team’s three leading scorers and, in general, most important players. So… Who’s left? Isaiah Collier should start in place of George, as he did when his teammate sat back on January 1 — ironically also a tilt versus the Clippers. That night, Collier finished with 16 points, 10 assists and six rebounds in 36.9 minutes of action. The sophomore point guard will surely have to score more often if he wants to lead this whole slate in PRA, yet the potential in the secondary statistics is obvious. It’s also not like Collier will be fighting anyone other than Brice Sensabaugh for shot attempts.
Associated Prop Bet: Isaiah Collier 10+ Assists (+116)
