NBA All-Star Weekend: Predictions for slam dunk, 3-point contest, draft

NBA All-Star Weekend 2023 tips off on Friday. Here are our predictions for the weekend's biggest events.

FEBRUARY 16, 2023

Keeps ball rolling with 39 points Lillard notched 39 points (14-30 FG, 5-17 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 126-101 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Despite another excellent performance from Lillard, the short-handed Trail Blazers couldn't generate enough firepower elsewhere. The team also lost Anfernee Simons (ankle) in the third quarter, and although initial X-rays returned negative, he could be sidelined when the Trail Blazers open their second-half schedule Feb. 23 in Sacramento. While a potential Simons absence would hamper the Trail Blazers' postseason hopes, it may only enhance Lillard's ability to continue posting huge lines with regularity.
