There are no Cavaliers involved on Saturday. If you’re looking for an ex-Cav to root for, though, look at Lauri Markkanen in the three-point contest. Per DraftKings, Markkanen +650 to win the three-point contest; Buddy Hield and and Damian Lillard are co-favorites at +425.
SUNDAY NIGHT
Sunday is the main event: The All-Star game itself. It’s not the same as last year in Cleveland when Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen were both All-Stars. (Garland should be there this year, for what it’s worth.) But Donovan Mitchell will be there as a starter representing the Cavs.
The All-Star game tips off at 8 p.m. with Team LeBron and Team Giannis drafting their teams before the opening tip.
DraftKings Odds
Right now, DraftKings has Team LeBron as a -3 favorite over Team Giannis for the All-Star game. The combined over/under score is set at 325.5. They have more All-Star bets available on the app.
