NBA All-Star Weekend Highlights
As the NBA All-Star weekend continues, Saturday’s lineup features the highly anticipated Slam Dunk Contest, the 3-Point Contest, and the all-new Shooting Stars Contest, all taking place at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. Expert predictions are in for the night’s events, providing insights into which competitors might shine under the spotlight.
Slam Dunk Contest
To kick things off, Keshad Johnson is favored to take home the crown in the Slam Dunk Contest with odds sitting at +320 on bet365. Despite limited playing time with the Miami Heat, Johnson showcases an impressive 42-inch vertical leap, making him a formidable contender. Andrew Caley advocates for Johnson, believing his raw athleticism will give him the edge needed to outshine other participants.
3-Point Contest
Turning to the 3-Point Contest, Damian Lillard is pegged as the likely winner, with odds at +450. Douglas Farmer emphasizes Lillard’s extensive experience in clutch shooting situations, especially in this contest. Considering Lillard has been sidelined for the entire season, his fresh legs could counter any concerns about rust, positioning him to excel in a setting he’s clearly prioritized.
Shooting Stars Contest
For the Shooting Stars Contest, Team Knicks has emerged as the favorites, boasting odds of +170. With sharpshooters Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns capable of hitting shots from various ranges, alongside the legendary Allan Houston, the team’s depth appears superior to that of their competitors. Given the talent on this roster, many consider Team Knicks the strongest contender this evening.
