DraftKings Sportsbook King of the Court Promotion: Win a Share of $2 Million in Bonus Bets During NBA Opening Night

The wait is over - the 2025-26 NBA season tips off tonight with a star-studded double-header, and DraftKings Sportsbook is celebrating in a massive way. Bettors can get in on two major promotions at once:

First, DraftKings is rolling out its King of the Court contest, giving users a shot at a share of $2 million in bonus bets simply by backing the player they think will dominate Opening Night. Just place a $5+ single player-prop wager (points, rebounds, assists, threes, or combos) on tonight’s games - and if your pick ends up as the combined PTS+REB+AST leader, you’ll share in the multimillion-dollar prize pool.

Meanwhile, new users can also grab the DraftKings welcome bonus: Bet $5, Win $300 in Bonus Bets (if your bet wins) + three free months of NBA League Pass. This means you can both watch and wager throughout the early part of the season, all while boosting your bankroll.

Tonight’s Opening Night matchups feature two marquee clashes - Houston Rockets @ Oklahoma City Thunder (7:30 p.m. ET) and Golden State Warriors @ Los Angeles Lakers (10:00 p.m. ET) - promising plenty of star power and intrigue to kick off the new campaign.

How the King of the Court Promo Works

Here’s how you can compete in the King of the Court promotion on Opening Night:

Step One: CLICK HERE or go to the DraftKings website or click the “Claim Now” button below to register for a DraftKings Sportsbook account.

Step Two: Place a $5+ bet on any player prop under the following headers for the games on 10/21: Player Points, Player Threes, Player Rebounds, Player Assists, or Player Combos (like PTS+REB+AST).

Step Three: Your bet must be a single wager (not a parlay) with minimum odds of –200 or longer (for instance, –150, +125, etc.).

• If your chosen player finishes the night as the PTS+REB+AST leader, you get an equal share of $2,000,000 in bonus bets the next day.
• If multiple players tie, winners who bet on any of those tied players split the pool equally.
