The All Star Weekend is upon us for season 2025-26, with a new-look format designed to spice things up. What can we expect from the All Star Game, and who will take out the Dunk and Three-Point Contest titles?<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
There\u2019s plenty of value on offer this weekend, largely because there\u2019s so much uncertainty surrounding this edition of All Star Weekend.<\/p>\r\n
We\u2019ve got four extremely low-profile players in the Dunk Contest, with very little sample size to work from. There are fresh faces in the Three-Point Contest, although they\u2019ve dragged Damian Lillard back despite recovering from a ruptured Achilles. Then there\u2019s the All Star Game itself.<\/p>\r\n
This brand new concept could be a smash hit or another complete disaster for the NBA. Unfortunately, I\u2019m leaning towards the latter. That said, there\u2019s still value to be found.<\/p>\r\n

Jase Richardson @ $4.25<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n There\u2019s a sense of nostalgia with Jase Richardson following in the footsteps of his dad, Jason, who won this event back in 2003.<\/p>\r\n Being an explosive guard will definitely work in Richardson\u2019s favour.<\/p>\r\n He\u2019s got a deep back-catalog of Dunk Contest dunks from his high school days, and there\u2019s no doubt he\u2019ll roll out a Golden State Warriors throwback for bonus points.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Jamal Murray @ $6.50<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n This will be Jamal Murray\u2019s first appearance in the Three-Point Contest, but don\u2019t let that deter you. Tyler Herro won as a first-time entrant last year, and eight of the last 15 winners were competing for the first time.<\/p>\r\n Murray fits the profile perfectly. He\u2019s shooting 43.2% from deep on 7.5 attempts per game this season, placing him squarely in the historical sweet spot for volume and efficiency. At 28 years old, he\u2019s right in the prime-age window where the median winner has sat over the last 15 years.<\/p>\r\n We\u2019ve seen Murray hit huge shots in the playoffs for Denver time and time again. He won\u2019t be fazed by the moment, and at this price he\u2019s well worth backing.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\nThree-Point Contest<\/h3>\r\n
