The most valuable players in today’s NBA are those who make an all-around impact on the stat sheet, racking up points, rebounds, and assists instead of being pigeonholed into a single role. In addition to helping their teams win, those players can also help DraftKings users win as part of the King of the Court promotion, running every Tuesday throughout the regular season.
Here’s how King of the Court works: if users opt into the contest and use their King of the Court token on a player prop bet or same-player NBA parlay (minimum $5 wager) with -200 or longer odds per leg, that bet will become an eligible entrant to the contest. Any user who used their token on the player who finishes with the most combined points, rebounds, and assists tonight will receive a share of the $1 million prize pool of bonus bets to be paid out the next day, proportional to the number of users who used their token that player (in the event of a tie, users who had any of the leaders will be paid out). The token must be used prior to the tipoff of the Portland Trail Blazers-Los Angeles Lakers contest at 11 p.m. ET.
The bet doesn’t have to hit: for instance, if a user bets on the Lakers’ Luka Dončić to make at least four three-pointers (-124) and he only makes three but ends up leading all players in P/R/A, that user will still be paid out their share of the bonus bets. Regardless, hitting on a bet never hurts.
The three players with the highest P/R/A over-unders for tonight’s slate are Dončić (47.5), the Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum (43.5), and the San Antonio Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama (41.5).
Below, I’ve broken down my favorite prop bets for these three players so you know where to start as you bet on the stars.
Luka Dončić 35+ Points (+140)
Dončić recorded the 2026/27 NBA season’s first 50-point game on Sunday, recording 52 points, eight rebounds, and 10 assists in a win over the Utah Jazz. He leads the league so far in points per game; if it holds up across the full season, it’d be his third time pacing all of basketball in the most important stat. When Dončić gets in a rhythm, there are few players who can stop him; last season, he recorded 35 or more points in 30 of his 64 games, leading the league in usage rate. His usage rate has spiked further this season to a whopping 41.8%, which would be the highest mark in league history.
On paper, Dončić’s matchup isn’t easy, since the Trail Blazers finished 12th in defensive rating last season and sit third through their first two games of 2026/27, but they start a small back-court of Damian Lillard and Ja Morant, both of whom rank in the bottom quartile in total contests per 100 possessions in the early part of the season. While Portland had good rim protection and three-point defense last season, Dončić’s floater and midrange jumper are some of his best attributes, and it was comparatively porous in those zones.
Jayson Tatum 18+ Rebounds + Assists (-115)
Tatum’s scoring has been inconsistent since he returned from the torn Achilles that he suffered during the 2024/25 postseason, as he averaged only 21.8 points per game on the lowest effective field goal percentage of his career to that point during his 16 games last season and 24.0 points on horrific splits so far in 2026/27. However, he’s made up for it by becoming a more well-rounded player; he averaged a career-high 15.3 combined rebounds/assists last season, and he’s contributed 14.7 rebounds/assists per game so far in 2026/27. Among players who have appeared in at least two games, he ranks eighth in potential assists per game and 38th in rebound chances per contest.
This young Brooklyn Nets team has shown some flashes, as they played out competitive games with the Charlotte Hornets and the Cleveland Cavaliers, but they still finished sixth-to-last in defensive rating in 2025/26, traded away their primary rim protector in Nicolas Claxton, and rank ninth-to-last so far this season. Tatum had 16 points, 11 boards, and two assists in his lone game last season against Julius Randle, Brooklyn’s new power forward, and the Nets don’t exactly have Rudy Gobert to keep him off the boards or from finding cutters inside.
Victor Wembanyama 4+ Blocks (+116)
Wembanyama had a brutal start to his season offensively, shooting a career-low one-for-13 in San Antonio’s season-opening defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he was tremendous defensively, registering one steal and six blocks. He then had more well-rounded efforts in the Spurs’ second and third games of the season, with a 23-point, seven-board, four-block showing in just 29 minutes in San Antonio’s most recent game against the Dallas Mavericks. The unanimous 2025/26 Defensive Player of the Year has contested shots at a career-high rate and averaged more blocks per 100 possessions than ever, per RAPM.
The Sacramento Kings might be the perfect team for Wembanyama to rack up rejections against. Although the Kings haven’t done a great job getting to the rim, they’ve attempted the most non-restricted paint shots of any team in the league, allowing Wembanyama to spring forward towards off-balance shooters and reject their floaters. Individually, Darius Acuff Jr. ranks second in the league in non-restricted paint shots per game, and although he’s done a good job avoiding blocks so far, that recklessness will be punished eventually.
