With top stars sitting out, Milwaukee's Ryan Rollins and Toronto's Scottie Barnes present intriguing value plays for DraftKings' King of the Court promotion on Tuesday's four-game NBA slate. Rollins has seen a spike in usage and production with the Bucks resting key players, while Barnes could thrive in an expanded playmaking role if Raptors star Brandon Ingram is sidelined.

Why it matters

The King of the Court promo on DraftKings Sportsbook offers a chance to split $1 million in bonus bets by placing a player prop bet on the player who leads the night in total points, rebounds and assists. Taking a contrarian approach to less popular players could provide an edge, as the bonus bet payout is smaller for more heavily bet options.

The details

Rollins has shown his scoring and playmaking ability in recent games for the tanking Bucks, including a 36-point, 4-rebound, 4-assist performance on March 25 and a near triple-double on March 19. With Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Porter Jr. and Bobby Portis all out, Rollins should see a massive usage rate against the also-tanking Mavericks. Meanwhile, Raptors forward Scottie Barnes has been dishing out assists at a high rate when playing point-forward with Brandon Ingram and Immanuel Quickley sidelined, making him a potential PRA monster if that trend continues.

  • Rollins had a 36-point, 4-rebound, 4-assist game on March 25.
  • Rollins narrowly missed a triple-double on March 19 with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists.
  • Ingram has missed 2 of the Raptors' last 4 games due to a heel injury and is questionable for Tuesday.

What they’re saying

“Did you know that Pete Nance played 38.5 minutes for the Bucks on Sunday night? Yeah. That's pretty much where we are at this point in the NBA season. Milwaukee is in a full-on tank mode, as it actually owns its own first-round pick in this summer's draft.”

“It's rare all these elements of Barnes' skill-set play out on the same night, but when they do… The sky is the limit.”

What’s next

If Brandon Ingram is ruled out, monitor Scottie Barnes' usage and production to see if he can put up a monster stat line that could lead the NBA in points, rebounds and assists on Tuesday night.

The takeaway

With top stars resting, contrarian plays like Ryan Rollins and Scottie Barnes present intriguing value opportunities for DraftKings' King of the Court promotion, where a big stat line could lead to splitting a $1 million bonus bet payout.
