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
Perfect from charity stripe in loss Sabonis supplied 24 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 15 rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 38 minutes in Tuesday's 120-109 loss to the Suns.
Impact For the third game in a row, Sabonis hit more than half of his field-goal attempts and came through with a double-double, but the perfect showing from the free-throw line on heavy volume might be the biggest takeaway from his stat line. Sabonis' season-long rate from the charity stripe is now up to a career-best 76.4 percent, and he's been especially dialed in since the start of February. Over eight contests this month, Sabonis is converting at an 86.8 percent clip from the line on 4.8 attempts per game.

Goes 10-of-12, grabs 14 boards Sabonis posted 22 points (10-12 FG, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 41 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 133-128 overtime victory over Dallas.
Impact Sabonis got off to a great start offensively with 10 first-half points on 5-of-6 shooting from the floor, but he was surprisingly quiet on the glass with just three rebounds entering the break. That changed in the second half, as the All-Star big man grabbed 11 boards to finish with a game-high rebounding total. Sabonis also achieved his points in highly efficient fashion, with his 83.3 percent mark from the field marking his best shooting performance since Dec. 30.

Enjoys complete performance Sabonis racked up 18 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 37 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 122-114 loss to the Mavericks.

Goes for 22 points in win Sabonis amassed 22 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 130-128 win over Houston.
Impact Sabonis appeared to be well on his way to another double-double, scoring 11 first-half points on 4-of-9 shooting from the field to go along with six boards and four assists. The power forward remained efficient on the offensive end after the break, adding another 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting. However, he collected just three more rebounds over the final two quarters to finish with nine on the night, which still led the team. Sabonis has now failed to grab double-digit rebounds in back-to-back contests after previously doing so in five straight, though he is averaging 7.5 assists over that brief stretch.

Pacers face the Kings on 4-game skid
Indiana looks to end its four-game losing streak when the Indiana Pacers take on SacramentoFEBRUARY 3, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Delivers season-high 34 points Sabonis finished Wednesday's 119-109 win over San Antonio with 34 points (15-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes.
Impact The 34 points were a new season high for Sabonis, breaking his previous best of 31 from Dec. 28 against the Nuggets. For the third game in a row, Sabonis grabbed double-digit boards and shot better than 65 percent from the field, though the lackluster showing from the free-throw line took an even bigger fantasy night off the table. Fantasy managers will live with the poor free-throw shooting if Sabonis can produce points efficiently and provide rebounds and assists at above-average rates, though he shouldn't be expected to produce in the two defensive categories with much regularity.
