DraftKings Gives New Users $200 and Free NBA Streaming

New customers at DraftKings can secure a promotional package worth $200 in bonus bets and three months of free NBA League Pass. To activate the offer, users must place a first bet of $5. The platform credits the bonus funds within 21 days of that initial wager.

The promotion launches alongside a packed Friday schedule that includes games from the NBA, college football, and the NFL. SportsLine analysts have evaluated these matchups to identify value for bettors.

In the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Philadelphia 76ers. The 76ers lead the Eastern Conference with an 8-1 record and are on a five-game winning streak. LeBron James plays for the visiting team. Despite Philadelphia’s strong start, the SportsLine Projection Model favors Cleveland. After simulating the game 10,000 times, the model assigns a 57% win probability to the home side. Cleveland has won three of its four home games this season. The Cavaliers average 119.3 points per game, ranking fifth in the league. Donovan Mitchell and James Harden lead the offense. The 76ers have played only four road games, facing opponents that were mostly non-playoff contenders last year.

SportsLine expert Emory Hunt recommends New Mexico to cover the 10-point spread against Nevada in college football. Hunt cited the Wolf Pack’s consistent defense, which holds opponents to fewer than 11 points per game. He noted that New Mexico has struggled offensively all season, making it difficult for the team to find success against a strong defensive unit.

In the NFL, expert R.J. White suggests the Green Bay Packers to cover a three-point spread against the New England Patriots. White pointed out that Green Bay has extra rest to heal. He highlighted the Packers' recent defensive performance, noting they held the Cowboys, Lions, and Panthers to 20 points or less in three straight games. White also observed that the Patriots' offensive success came against weaker defenses. The Patriots allowed 26 or more points to the Jaguars, Bills, and Bears recently.

The SportsLine Projection Model has generated nearly $19,000 in profit for hypothetical $100 players on top-rated NBA picks since 2018. This includes five consecutive seasons of four-digit profits. Entering Week 3 of the 2026-27 season, the model has a 26-11 record on top-rated spread picks dating back to the previous season. Combining the picks for Cleveland, New Mexico, and Green Bay into a single bet offers potential odds of +658. A $100 stake could yield a $658 profit, though odds may change.
