NBA All-Star weekend is here! Getting together with my friends to watch the All-Star events has become an annual tradition, so I am looking forward to watching and hopefully winning some money this weekend. Let’s take a look at the odds and make some predictions…

My pick: Famous Los +700

While the defending MVP Quavo looks good on paper, I’m going with my guy FL. He said he was going to get buckets tonight, so leggo! On a side note, if Ray Allen decides to play for real, he’d probably smoke everyone, but usually the NBA guys let the celebrities enjoy their one shot at this.

My Pick: World +3

The World roster is just so filthy. Like my man Lauri Markkanen said, “we trying to go 3-peat!”

Skills Challenge participants and odds:

While the three-point and dunk contests are the more popular individual events, don’t forget about the Skills Challenge.

Skills Challenge

De’Aaron Fox 7/2Luka Doncic 4/1Trae Young 4/1Mike Conley 6/1Jayson Tatum 6/1Nikola Jokic 6/1Kyle Kuzma 8/1Nikola Vucevic 10/1

— Jeff Sherman (@golfodds) February 15, 2019

My Pick: Luka Doncic +400

This was a tough call. At first, I was feeling the Joker, but then I thought about how he was just too slow to win this thing. Trae Young was my second pick to win it all, so I might sprinkle a little on him to hedge. While I love Fox and his speed, I don’t trust his shot. Maybe he clanks that final three?

You have to be a solid ball-handler, passer, and shooter if you want to win this contest, and Doncic possesses all those traits.

Three-point contest participants and odds:

3 Point Contest

Steph Curry 7/4Devin Booker 9/2Buddy Hield 6/1Seth Curry 7/1Joe Harris 7/1Damian Lillard 10/1Khris Middleton 14/1Kemba Walker 14/1Danny Green 16/1Dirk Nowitzki 25/1

— Jeff Sherman (@golfodds) February 15, 2019

My Pick: Joe Harris +700

I wanted to say “wet like I’m Book” (Drake) so badly, but Harris’ odds are too sweet to pass up here.  Harris ranks second in  NBA 3-point percentage, coming in at 47.1%, and shoots 47.6% on catch and shoot 3’s.

Slam Dunk Contest participants and odds:

Dennis Smith Jr 2/1John Collins 5/2Miles Bridges 11/4Hamidou Diallo 7/2

— Jeff Sherman (@golfodds) February 15, 2019

My Pick: Dennis Smith Jr. +200

Dennis Smith Jr.’s dunks remind me of how a young Derrick Rose attacked the rim. He has the experience from last year and will be ready.

All Star Game

Team LeBron -6Team Giannis 309.5

— Jeff Sherman (@golfodds) February 15, 2019

My Pick: Team Giannis +6

This is going to be a tight one until the end. While Team LeBron participant’s fight it out to impress their possible future teammate,  look for Steph Curry to put on a show for his hometown.
