NBA All-Star Game, MVP, Slam Dunk, 3-Point Contest odds, results
How did you fare on your wagers for NBA All-Star Weekend?
While the players got a chance to relax from the daily grind and put on a showcase for fans, it was a great time for basketball aficionados to drop a couple of wagers on the All-Star festivities.
Here's a look at how the weekend played out:
The skills challenge is the first event on Saturday night and will feature a surprise course that challenges players on their shooting, passing and dribbling prowess.
The competition is four rounds and will feature three teams: the Antetokounmpo brothers (Giannis, Thanasis, Alex), Team Cavs (Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley) and Team Rookies (Cade Cunningham, Scottie Barnes, Josh Giddey).
Skills Challenge Winners Odds at FOX Bet
Team Rooks: -133 (bet $10 to win $17.52 total)
Team Cavs: +175 (bet $10 to win $27.50 total)
Team Antetokounmpo: +400 (bet $10 to win $50 total)
Team Rooks is undoubtedly the favorite as they feature some of the most versatile stat-stuffing rookies in the league, while Team Cavs boasts two all-stars. However, Giannis is the reigning NBA Finals MVP and if he is locked in, he and his brothers are hard to bet against.
The second competition of the night is the 3-Point Contest, which features some of the best shooters in the game. Each sharpshooter is looking to take home their first long-distance trophy.
Winner: Team Cavs (+175)
3-Point Contest odds at FOX Bet
Fred VanVleet: +450 (bet $10 to win $55 total)
Patty Mills: +475 (bet $10 to win $57.50 total)
Luke Kennard: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)
Desmond Bane: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)
Trae Young: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)
Zach LaVine: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)
CJ McCollum: +800 (bet $10 to win $90 total)
Karl-Anthony Towns: +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total)
As repeat contestants, will Ice Trae or LaVine's experience shine through? Can upstarts like Bane or Kennard get hot and take home the trophy? Or do you like Mr. Towns' chance of representing the bigs and pulling off the huge upset? Should be a fun event to watch either way.
The final event on Saturday evening is the granddaddy of them all, the Slam Dunk competition. Similar to the 3-Point competition, a first-time winner is going home with the prize.
Winner: Karl-Anthony Towns (+1100)
Slam Dunk Contest odds at FOX Bet
Jalen Green: +150 (bet $10 to win 25 total)
Obi Toppin: +175 (bet $10 to win 27.50 total)
Cole Anthony: +375 (bet $10 to win 47.50 total)
Juan Toscano-Anderson: +450 (bet $10 to win $55 total)
While Green is the high-flying favorite, Obi competed in this event last year and may have a few tricks up his sleeve. Anthony and Toscano-Anderson aren't well known for their dunks, but they can certainly throw it down. Who do you like to slam down the trophy onto their fireplace mantle?
After all the festivities are completed on Saturday, we will have the 75th Annual All-Star game on Sunday evening as Team Durant squares off against Team LeBron.
Winner: Obi Toppin (+175)
All-Star Game odds at FOX Bet
Team LeBron 163, Team Durant 160 (Team Durant +5.5 covers, bet $10 to win $20 total; Team LeBron was bet $10 to win $18.47 total).
Moneyline: Team LeBron wins as -250 favorite (bet $10 to win $14 total); Team Durant was +190 underdog (bet $10 to win $29 total)
Over/under: UNDER 324.5 combined points (323, bet $10 to win $20 total)
Clearly Team LeBron is the heavy favorite, however, the more intriguing bet is for All-Star Game MVP. The top 10 most likely players to win are :
Giannis Antetokounmpo: +450 (bet $10 to win $55 total)
LeBron James: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)
Joel Embiid +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total)
Stephen Curry: +900 (bet $10 to win $100 total)
Luka Doncic: +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total)
DeMar DeRozan: +1300 (bet $10 to win $140 total)
Jayson Tatum: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)
Trae Young: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)
Nikola Jokic: +2300 (bet $10 to win $240 total)
Chris Paul: +3300 (bet $10 to win $340 total)
MVP: Stephen Curry (+900)
Will Giannis repeat as MVP? Can one of the young phenoms (Doncic or Young) take home the hardware? Or will veterans like LeBron and Curry remind everyone why they are generational talents?
All in all, this weekend provides fans with a lot of entertainment and tons of chances to wager on the fun. If any of these plays look enticing to you shoot your shot and head on over to FOX Bet.
