NBA King of the Court Picks & Best Bets | November 10, 2026

Availability update: The official 6:15 p.m. ET NBA injury report lists Domantas Sabonis as available. The condition for our Darius Acuff Jr. longshot is therefore not met. Franz Wagner remains our main pick.

Franz Wagner is our DraftKings King of the Court pick for Tuesday, November 10, 2026. His expanded playmaking role gives him several ways to build a big points, rebounds and assists total against Sacramento. Our longshot is on the other side of that game: Darius Acuff Jr., provided Domantas Sabonis is ruled out.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum and Karl-Anthony Towns round out our five highlighted options. Five additional contenders appear below those highlights. Each has a different route to the night’s highest PRA total, from Giannis’ interior dominance to Towns’ rebounding. Wagner is our preferred selection; Giannis remains the strongest favorite based on the published PRA lines.

Odds and availability: These are underlying player-prop prices, not odds to win King of the Court. Quotes were checked on November 10 at 3:14 p.m. ET on DraftKings Network’s public player-props page. Prices and available markets can change. The official 3:15 p.m. ET NBA injury report listed Sabonis as questionable and Giannis as probable at that time. Sabonis has since been cleared, as noted in the availability update above.

Our King of the Court Pick: Franz Wagner

Magic at Kings, 10 p.m. ET | Associated prop: 40+ PRA (-105).

Wagner’s passing is the main reason we like him for this promotion. Through nine games, he is averaging 20.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists in 36.4 minutes, with 17.7 field-goal attempts per game. Those averages add up to 35.9 PRA. He already has a substantial offensive role before we ask for the above-average performance needed to challenge tonight’s stars. Wagner’s season statistics.

His last two games show different ways that ceiling can develop. Against Phoenix, he produced 15 points, eight rebounds and 15 assists for 38 PRA. He followed that with 30 points, six rebounds and 11 assists for 47 PRA against Golden State. The latter went to overtime, so the extra minutes matter when interpreting the result. Still, the scoring and passing have both supplied meaningful production. Phoenix recap and Golden State recap.

Orlando remains without Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs. That keeps a large share of the creation burden with Wagner and gives his assist production a clear basketball explanation. Sacramento enters with a defense ranked 28th in efficiency in DraftKings’ same-day matchup data. We like the combination of established minutes, repeated involvement and an opponent that has struggled to finish defensive possessions.

The recent workload is stronger than the season minutes average suggests. Wagner has played at least 38 minutes in each of his last five games and reached double-digit assists in four of them, averaging 11.0 assists over that stretch. His season usage rate is 28.9%. That gives the ceiling argument a measurable base: sustained court time, a large share of Orlando’s possessions and repeated passing production. The 47-PRA overtime game shows the upside, while Sacramento’s 119.1 defensive rating, ranked 28th, supplies the matchup.

The risk: a normal Wagner game is unlikely to lead this slate. He needs a ceiling performance, and assists still depend on teammates making shots. A game dominated by Anthony Black’s creation or Desmond Bane’s scoring could leave Wagner with a useful total that falls short of Giannis or Tatum. We are choosing the all-around opportunity and matchup, while recognizing that gap.

Our Conditional Longshot: Darius Acuff Jr.

Magic at Kings, 10 p.m. ET | Associated prop: 35+ PRA (-150) | Condition: Sabonis ruled out.

Acuff has the workload to make this more than a speculative name. He is averaging 25.9 points, 7.4 assists and 3.8 rebounds, while playing 37.1 minutes and taking 23.0 shots per game. His usage rate is 32.3%. That is a substantial scoring and playmaking role for a player we are considering as the longshot option. Acuff’s season statistics.

Acuff has attempted at least 20 shots in each of his last five games. He produced 32 points, five rebounds and 10 assists for 47 PRA against Miami on Sunday, after reaching 48 PRA with 38 points, five rebounds and five assists against Memphis on October 31. Those are concrete ceiling results from his first 10 NBA games, rather than relying only on a projected Sabonis-related increase. DraftKings’ Acuff analysis.

Our recommendation depends on Sabonis being out. Sacramento’s center is now available, so this conditional longshot is not active. The following describes the original Sabonis-out scenario, not his current status. If he sits, we expect more of the Kings’ offensive organization to run through Acuff. That would strengthen the case for a high-volume game with enough passing to keep him in the PRA race. Sabonis’ absence would also leave Sacramento without an important offensive partner, so extra responsibility does not guarantee better efficiency.

Orlando’s missing personnel makes the matchup worth attacking, but Acuff still has to convert the opportunity. He is shooting 41.3% overall and 31.9% from three. Another inefficient night could waste a large shot total, and his modest rebounding leaves less protection than Wagner or the bigger stars have.

If Sabonis is cleared to play, the condition behind this particular longshot selection is not met. Wagner remains our main pick either way. The 35+ PRA prop is the associated wager; Acuff’s longshot label describes his task of beating the entire night’s field.

Three More King of the Court Options

Giannis Antetokounmpo: the Favorite Everyone Must Beat

Heat at Jazz, 9 p.m. ET | Associated prop: 50+ PRA (-115).

Giannis has the highest published PRA line on the slate at 48.5. He is averaging 27.5 points and 12.8 rebounds, and DraftKings reports that he has grabbed at least 14 boards in six of his last seven games. The scoring-and-rebounding foundation gives him a straightforward route to a total that forces the rest of the field to chase. DraftKings’ favorite-player breakdown.

Across his first 10 games, Giannis is averaging 27.5 points, 12.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists, or 45.6 PRA, on 18.9 shots in 32.8 minutes. His 33.6% usage rate supports the scoring volume, while DraftKings reports 20.3 rebound chances per game, sixth among players with at least seven appearances. Utah plays at the ninth-fastest pace and allows the eighth-most rebounds per game in that same-day report. With Jaren Jackson Jr., Jusuf Nurkic and Lauri Markkanen out, the rebounding opportunity has a clear personnel basis too. Giannis’ season statistics.

The trade-off is minutes. A depleted Jazz team may struggle to keep Miami’s starters on the floor late. Giannis also remains probable with a right-wrist sprain, rather than having a final clearance. He is the clearest favorite in this group, but our Wagner selection looks for a competitive late game and production across all three categories.

Jayson Tatum: a Full-Game, All-Around Challenger

Celtics at 76ers, 8 p.m. ET | Associated prop: 42+ PRA (-107).

Tatum’s published PRA line is 41.5, third behind Giannis and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Boston and Philadelphia are separated by a small spread, which gives Tatum a reasonable path to a full workload if the game plays to expectations.

Tatum’s first nine games supply a stronger case than his reputation alone: 27.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game, with 19.6 shot attempts and a 33.3% usage rate. That is 40.9 PRA per game. On November 6 at Charlotte, he delivered 34 points, eight rebounds and nine assists for 51 PRA in 29 minutes. He has a recent example of reaching a slate-challenging total without requiring overtime or unusually long playing time. Tatum’s season statistics and official Charlotte box score.

The matchup is the obstacle. Philadelphia ranks sixth in defensive rating, and this is the lowest-total game on DraftKings’ published slate. A close game helps with opportunity, but it can also be a slower, more difficult environment for accumulating statistics. Tatum fits readers who prefer an established all-around star and are willing to accept the defensive challenge.

Karl-Anthony Towns: the Rebounding Route

Bucks at Knicks, 7:30 p.m. ET | Associated prop: 40+ PRA (+117).

Towns just delivered 29 points, 13 rebounds and three assists for 45 PRA against Cleveland. That is the shape of performance we want here: scoring that does real work alongside a big rebounding contribution, rather than hoping rebounds alone can catch the primary ballhandlers. Saturday’s Knicks recap.

Through nine games, Towns averages 20.9 points, 13.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 31.6 minutes, with a 25.4% usage rate. The 13.6 boards give him a substantial contribution before the scoring ceiling arrives. Milwaukee allows 47.9 rebounds per game, second-most in the league in DraftKings’ same-day prop report, and ranks 27th in defensive rating. Josh Hart remains doubtful with illness, although his absence would not automatically make every available rebound Towns’. Towns’ season statistics and Milwaukee rebounding matchup.

The concern is New York’s published 15.5-point favoritism. Towns could control the matchup and still lose the fourth-quarter minutes needed to finish first in PRA. Jalen Brunson can also carry the scoring while Towns handles the glass. We like the frontcourt matchup, but this choice needs substantial scoring as well as rebounds before the game gets away.

Five More King of the Court Players to Consider

Wagner, Acuff, Giannis, Tatum and Towns remain our five highlighted options above. These additional candidates give you a wider view of the field, including another major favorite in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Each has a credible route to a big PRA total, but the scoring, minutes and matchup need to come together.

The associated props below were checked at 3:14 p.m. ET on DraftKings Network’s player-props page. Each quoted price meets the published -200-or-longer leg requirement. They are examples of underlying wagers, not odds to win King of the Court. Confirm token eligibility in your account before placing a bet.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Another Major Contender

Thunder at Trail Blazers, 11 p.m. ET | Associated prop: 3+ three-pointers (+167).

Shai belongs in any serious comparison of this slate. His published 43.5 PRA line trails only Giannis, and he produced 54 PRA in both recent meetings with Cleveland: 43 points, three rebounds and eight assists on November 2, then 42 points, four rebounds and eight assists on November 4. Those are recent examples of the scoring-and-passing combination needed to finish first. Gilgeous-Alexander’s game logs.

His first 10 games show 29.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game, with 23.2 shot attempts and a 36.5% usage rate. Oklahoma City remains without Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Cason Wallace. In the two Cleveland games, Shai took 35 and 26 shots and added eight assists in each, showing how the concentrated workload can produce a ceiling night. Oklahoma City’s published 1.5-point spread offers a more competitive setting than his last two wins, when he played only 30 and 29 minutes in blowouts.

What has to go right: Portland ranks 12th in defensive rating, so this is not a free scoring matchup. Shai’s 3.9 rebounds per game leave less help from that category than the big men receive. He has made at least three threes in each of his last five games, which gives the associated prop a recent basis, but a hot streak does not guarantee another make total. His case for King of the Court rests on his overall scoring and creation.

Jalen Brunson: Scoring and Assists Against Milwaukee

Bucks at Knicks, 7:30 p.m. ET | Associated prop: 25+ points (-148).

Brunson offers another way to attack the Milwaukee matchup. He averages 26.2 points and 5.6 assists in 34.1 minutes, and his last outing supplied 31 points, six rebounds and nine assists for 46 PRA. A big scoring night can bring his passing along when defenders commit to stopping him. Brunson’s season statistics and game logs.

The volume supports that recent ceiling: Brunson has a 31.8% usage rate and 20.8 shot attempts per game across nine appearances. Over his last five games, he has averaged 29.0 points on 21.0 shots, including 38 points against Chicago. Milwaukee allows 121.6 points per game and ranks 27th in defensive rating. He has both a heavy shot diet and a favorable opponent; keeping the game close enough for late minutes is the key obstacle.

The drawback: New York’s 15.5-point favoritism creates the same early-finish risk we flagged for Towns. Brunson also averages just 3.0 rebounds, so his winning route needs substantial scoring and assists. A routine 25-point performance would not be enough.

Devin Booker: A Scoring-Led Ceiling

Clippers at Suns, 9 p.m. ET | Associated prop: 25+ points (-162).

Booker has scored at least 30 points in three of his last four games, including 32 in only 29 minutes against San Antonio on Monday. He is averaging 26.0 points, 4.8 assists and 2.7 rebounds. His best route is a major scoring night with enough passing to push the total beyond what points alone can provide. Booker’s season statistics and recent results.

Across nine games, Booker has a 29.7% usage rate and 18.2 shot attempts per game. His last five outings average 29.0 points on 20.0 attempts, an increase in both volume and scoring from his season averages. He also made 36 of 37 free throws in those five games, giving his scoring another source beyond jump shots. The Clippers rank 18th in defensive rating and allow 116.4 points per game. Phoenix’s published 3.5-point spread offers a plausible full workload, and Booker’s 30-point, eight-assist game against Orlando shows how passing can supplement the scoring.

The drawback: His rebounding contribution is small, and Phoenix is playing the second night of a back-to-back. Booker has no injury designation on the Suns’ submitted 3:15 p.m. ET report, but a normal scoring night still leaves him short of the larger all-around totals. He needs the scoring surge and secondary production together.

Tyrese Maxey: Heavy Minutes and Two Ways to Create

Celtics at 76ers, 8 p.m. ET | Associated prop: over 2.5 three-pointers (-111).

Maxey’s workload makes him worth considering. He is averaging 26.9 points, 5.5 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 36.5 minutes. A 38-point game against Charlotte produced 46 PRA, while his 26-point, 11-assist effort against Chicago showed a different route to an above-average total. Maxey’s season statistics and game logs.

Through 11 games, Maxey’s workload includes 19.1 shot attempts, 7.5 three-point attempts and 7.0 free-throw attempts per game, with a 28.1% usage rate. His recent 46-PRA game against Charlotte was driven by 38 points, while the 41-PRA game against Chicago included 11 assists. Those two results show distinct paths: a major scoring night or a strong scoring-and-passing combination. The published 1.5-point spread supports late minutes, though Boston’s defense makes each possession harder.

The drawback: Boston ranks fourth in defensive rating, and this game has the slate’s lowest published total. Maxey also shares the offense with Jaylen Brown and Joel Embiid. He needs a standout individual performance in a difficult environment, not simply a normal night of heavy minutes.

Jaylen Brown: A Deeper All-Around Alternative

Celtics at 76ers, 8 p.m. ET | Associated prop: 35+ PRA (+125).

Brown adds a different profile from Maxey in the same game. He averages 22.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 35.8 minutes, with more rebounding support than the scoring-first guards. His recent 25-point, 11-rebound, five-assist game reached 41 PRA, and Sunday’s 29 points, seven rebounds and four assists reached 40. Brown’s season statistics and recent results.

Brown’s first 10 games carry a 25.9% usage rate and 17.6 shot attempts per game. In his last four, the scoring has climbed to 26.0 points on 18.8 attempts, with at least 25 points in three of those four games. Combined with his 6.7-rebound season average, that gives him a more balanced route than a pure scorer. His recent totals of 40 and 41 PRA are useful evidence of production, but he would still need to improve on them to beat a night when the leading stars reach their ceilings.

The drawback: A total around 40 can be a strong individual game and still fall well short of the night’s leader. Boston’s defense, the low game total and Philadelphia’s shared scoring responsibilities make Brown a deeper alternative. He needs the scoring and secondary categories to peak together.

Matchup context: DraftKings’ same-day game odds and team statistics. Availability: official 3:15 p.m. ET NBA injury report. These five are additional choices for comparison; Franz remains our main pick and Acuff remains our longshot only if Sabonis is ruled out.
