Unjuiced Team · Last updated October 23, 2026

Open King of the Court. King of the Court ranks every player on the slate by PRA: points + rebounds + assists. The player with the most PRA when the last game ends is the night's king. Books like DraftKings run King of the Court promos on it, and PRA props are among the most popular NBA bets, so it's a handy board to keep open while games are on.

Before tip-off

Before games start, the board lists tonight's players by DraftKings' main PRA line, highest first. Players listed out or doubtful are left off. That's the quickest way to see who the books expect to lead the night.

On a wide screen you also get a few comparisons next to the DK line:

  • PIN: Pinnacle's line for the same player. Pinnacle is a sharp book, so a gap between the two is worth a look.
  • PM: the first prediction market quoting the player (Novig, Kalshi or Polymarket).
  • DvP: how tonight's opponent ranks against the player's position, from 1st (allows the fewest) to 30th (allows the most).

A gap worth noticing is printed in bold. Open a player to see every book and all four DvP ranks.

During games

Once a game starts, its players rank by actual PRA and the board refreshes every 20 seconds.

  • An amber dot and the game clock next to a name mean that player's game is live and they are on the floor.
  • vs DK shows how far over (✓) or short of the DK line the player is.
  • Games still to come sit under To come at the bottom.
  • Rows hold still while numbers change so the list doesn't jump while you read it. Press Re-sort (or any sort) to put the leaders back on top.

Your first five minutes

  1. Pick the night. The date pill opens tonight. Before 6 am ET it shows last night, labeled Final.
  2. Pick the stat. PRA is the default. Points, Rebounds or Assists re-ranks the board by that stat.
  3. Find your players. Search Player or team, or press the star on a row to follow a player. The Starred pill then narrows the list to them.
  4. Open a player. Click a row to see their full night, every book's line and the matchup.
  5. Look back. Past kings lists recent winners.
  6. Share it. Share makes an image of tonight's leaderboard once the night has a box score.

Tips for newer bettors

  • Minutes are everything. PRA rewards players who stay on the floor. A blowout can sit a star for the fourth quarter.
  • Big men and point guards lead. Rebounds and assists add up fast, so a center or a playmaking guard often beats a pure scorer.
  • Check the promo's rules. When DraftKings is running its King of the Court promo today, a note above the list links to it. Read how ties and late scratches are handled.

Troubleshooting

  • The board shows last night: before 6 am ET, or on a day without games, the last night played is shown, labeled Final.
  • A game isn't on the list yet: its players appear by DK line until tip-off, then by PRA.
  • Numbers aren't moving: the board refreshes every 20 seconds while games are on. Check the game is live.
