NBA All-Star Saturday Night best bets
Slam Dunk Contest best bet: Keshad Johnson to win
+320 at bet365
Andrew Caley makes his case for Keshad Johnson to win the 40th annual Slam Dunk Contest.
“[Johnson] has seen limited minutes with the Miami Heat. Still, the 6-foot-6 forward boasts a ridiculous 42-inch vertical.”
3-Point Contest best bet: Damian Lillard to win
+450 at bet365
Douglas Farmer values Damian Lillard’s experience in the 3-point contest coupled with his being super-fresh after not playing all season.
“A skeptic might wonder if Lillard will be rusty. The better thought is to expect Lillard to be peaking. No one else in this contest has as much experience in it as he does, and no one else has circled this Saturday night as the highlight of their season.”

Shooting Stars best bet: Team Knicks to win
+170 at bet365
Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns can hit shots from anywhere, and Allan Houston is one of the great pure shooters the Knicks have ever had. There are no holes to poke in this roster compared to the other three, so give me Team Knicks as a favorite that should be shorter.
