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

Out Wednesday Markkanen (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Memphis.

Impact This will be just the sixth missed game for Markkanen this season, and while he'll skip the final game going into the All-Star break, managers shouldn't be fretting about a "sore knee." With Markkanen unavailable Monday, Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson will shoulder a heavy load on offense and there will be a ton of opportunity for Talen Horton-Tucker. Ochai Agbaji should also get some extended run in the rotation.

Questionable Wednesday Markkanen is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to right knee soreness, Ryan Miller of KSL.com reports.

Impact Markkanen posted a double-double Monday against the Pacers with 29 points, 11 rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes, but he was a late addition to Wednesday's injury report due to his knee issue. If he's sidelined, Ochai Agbaji, Talen Horton-Tucker and Simone Fontecchio are candidates to see increased run.

Disappears in second half Markkanen ended Wednesday's 143-118 loss to Minnesota with 21 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 23 minutes.

Impact Markkanen got off to a great start with 17 points in the first half on 6-of-10 shooting from the field while knocking down three of five three-point attempts.

Despite disappearing in the second half, Markkanen still finished second on the team in scoring with 21 points, and he's now shot above 50 percent in four of his last five games. He's also grabbed at least five rebounds in five straight.
