The NBA All-Star Weekend is a 3-day event held every February after the trade deadline and signals a break from the regular season. It consists of exhibition matches and skills challenges, culminating in the All-Star Game. This year, it will take place from the 13th to the 15th of February in the Intuit Dome, home of the LA Clippers, but some of the games will be held in the KIA Forum. For the organization, the event is a way to gather and showcase the top basketball players in one place.
For Bookmakers.bet, NBA All-Star Game betting hides some great opportunities. You can use several markets, from the Rising Stars Challenge to the 3-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk event. Last year, we hit correctly on both the Winner and MVP picks. This year, there will be different considerations due to a change of format. SGA, Giannis, and Stephen Curry are all on injury absence. Follow our NBA All-Star Game betting tips below for more information about moneylines, totals, and special bets for this year's edition.

Top NBA All-Star Game Betting Lines For Team World
Depending on the betting site, Team World is either the favorite or the challenger, alongside USA Stripes. We think foreign players will be able to capitalize most on their opponents' absences, since last year's stars Curry and Tatum are out for the US veterans. Both Wemby and Doncic lead the payouts for the MVP race, while teammates Joker and Jamal Murray on the team are priced at a modest 17.00 each to win the title.
Since both our picks are centered on this team, we will provide two additional predictions that may be riskier but offer strong value. We expect that in the two matches played, they will cover over 2.5 points and score over 40 points.
- Team World to Win Against USA Stars - -2.5 Handicap @ 1.88
- Team Total World Against USA Stripes - Over 40 @ 1.75

The American veterans team is packed with high-efficiency names like Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, Jaylen Brunson, and Donovan Mitchell. Their strong athleticism and high energy could see them win the series. Although the younger US Stars will also be betting on these points, the Stripes have the much-needed experience and unbeatable individual 3-point percentages.
Since scoring is a crucial factor in the new round-robin format, the Stripes could be considered potential winners, and their odds are not much different from Team World's. Kevin Durant's 13.00 payout for MVP could be considered, too.
- Moneyline - USA Stripes To Win Against USA Stars @ 1.72
- ASG MVP - Kevin Durant @13.00

Last but not least, the long shots are not completely out of the picture, as Anthony Edwards and Cade Cunningham are leading a talented young squad that could cause upsets. Tyrese Maxey is a prolific 3-point shooter, and American bookmakers are tipping him as an MVP with better odds than Doncic and LeBron. In fact, we think they might cause a bigger upset against Team World than Team USA.
For this reason, we are highlighting two MVP nominations from this team. We think individually, these players could shine in the mini-series. Bettors should keep an eye out for these two bets, especially after paying attention to possible injuries on the regular matchday on the 12th:
- ASG MVP - Anthony Edwards @17.00
- ASG MVP - Cade Cunningham @11.00

The first two events of the weekend are the Celebrity Game and the Rising Stars Challenge, which take place on Friday. Bookmakers don’t offer odds on the first one, while you might find some lines on the latter. For the fourth consecutive year, the event will feature NBA rookies, sophomores, and NBA G League players.
Rising Stars Winner - Team Melo @2.00

This event is one of the best opportunities for NBA All-Star Game prop bets. Four teams will compete in shooting skill challenges; each participant team has two players. We are sticking to the favourites, Team Knicks, on this one:
Team Knicks: Jalen Brunson & Karl-Anthony Towns
Team Harper: Dylan Harper & Ron Harper Jr.
Team All-Star: Scottie Barnes & Chet Holmgren
Team Warriors: Jalen Johnson & Kon Knueppel
Shooting Challenge - Team Knicks @2.50

Another exciting event for NBA All-Star Game betting is the 3-Point contest. There are two rounds in which players aim to hit as many 3s as possible within 70 seconds from five different positions. The top three shooters from the first round progress to the final, where they shoot again. This year’s participants include:
- Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers)
- Norman Powell (Miami Heat)
- Bobby Portis Jr. (Milwaukee Bucks)
- Jamal Murray (Denver Nuggets)
- Tyrese Maxey (Philadelphia 76ers)
- Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers)
- Kon Knueppel (Charlotte Hornets)
3-point Contest - Donovan Mitchell @7.50

The cream of the crop of player challenges is the dunk contest, which offers exceptional NBA All-Star Weekend bets. Four players will each have two attempts in the first round. The top two with the most points will face off in the final, where they will have to showcase their skills twice more. We hit another winner last year with the Mac McClung tip, but unfortunately, the multi-title holder from the G-League will not be participating this year.
This year, the players are Jase Richardson (Magic), Carter Bryant (Spurs), Jaxson Hayes (Lakers), and Keshad Johnson (Heat).
Dunk Contest - Carter Bryant @2.80
Is NBA All-Star Game Betting Worth it?
There’s no denying that betting on the ASG is controversial. NBA picks during the regular season or NBA Finals predictions are a lot easier. No one likes to lose, but the players’ motives remain unclear, as this is an event for the fans. Therefore, the organization continually adjusts the format to make it as appealing and distinctive as possible.
Still, you can find some good opportunities if you do your research. For your NBA All-Star Weekend bets, you should look at small, fun bets on all the contests on Saturday or wagers on Totals. The loose atmosphere allows for more points to be scored.
