Jock MKT is fun new way to play DFS. In this article, I’ll break down what Jock MKT is and my favorite NBA buy for tonight’s slate.
What Is Jock MKT?
The simplest way to outline this is daily fantasy sports meets the stock market. You’ll purchase shares of players for varying amounts, depending on how much others are willing to pay for them during the IPO. Once the Live Trading starts, you can buy players that others want to sell or sell your players during the game. Once all of the games have ended, you will receive money based on how well your player performs compared to the field on the Jock MKT app for the night.

3/23/22 Top Buy
Davion Mitchell, PG, Sacramento Kings
Highest Potential Bid: $6.00
Break-Even Point: 28th
If you’re new to Jock MKT, you may be struggling to read what’s listed below the Mitchell recommendation. Essentially, I’m willing to spend up to $6.00 per share for him. He needs to finish 28th in the field for me to make my money back with the opportunity for me to make more if he finishes higher.
For example, if I buy 1 share of Mitchell at $6.00 and he finishes 28th in this field, I make my $6.00 back. If he finishes 1st, I win $25 (profit $19.00). If he finishes last, I win $1 (lose $5.00). It’s that simple.
Mitchell is an easy target for me tonight, and I would actually be comfortable spending way more on him if that’s how the market goes. If you haven’t been seeing what’s going on in Sac Town, they will be without both De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis tonight. Mitchell has been taking over for the Kings in recent games, with 13, 14 and 22 shot attempts over his last three games. In his last game without Fox, he put up a huge performance that included over 20 drives, which is something we look for a lot in terms of aggressive offensive play. His role without Fox and now Sabonis is closer to a $10.00+ role on Jock MKT, but we should be able to get him at a nice discount tonight before people fully adjust.
Mitchell ranks 38th in Jock MKT’s pre-ranking for tonight, but as I noted above, his ceiling is much higher than that right now. This very well could be the last chance to get him at this price, if he puts up another monster game on Wednesday he will be more appropriately priced moving forward.
