And here we were thinking we were special for working with Draft Kings: The Sixers, as part of their partnership with Draft Kings, are giving away courtside (and other) tickets as prizes for winning FREE fantasy games.

It’s very simple. The contests work the same way any of the other NBA games do. You draft a team, salary cap style, consisting of eight players, and hope they put together a great game. But the Sixers are now the first NBA team to “participate in a private DraftKings fantasy basketball contest and offer team-branded prizes for DraftKings’ online daily fantasy sports.” Starting today, you can just go to this link, sign up, and build your team for free. There will be 17 single-day contests from now until the end of the season, and the dates and prizes for those games are:

Wed. 3/11 | 2 Courtside Tickets on Sat. 3/14

What the Sixers are doing with daily fantasy, and poker, is progressive. Perhaps no other team in sports has embraced this stuff the way the Sixers have. They see where the ball is going, and they’re out ahead of the curve.
