Prediction

Team Durant 148, Team LeBron 142

Money line (ML)

When betting an NBA All-Star Game, or any sort of exhibition in pro sports, it’s best to chase the value. Back TEAM DURANT (+140) to pull off the modest upset.

Even though they’re without their captain, as well as Phoenix Suns SG Devin Booker and Los Angeles Lakers PF Anthony Davis, expect a spirited effort from the underdogs. James has been vocal about his displeasure in the NBA holding the annual skills competition this year and always comes into these games with a target on his back.

We’re unlikely to see a full effort from many players in this game, and that opens the door for an “upset”.

There were 317 total points scored in last year’s All-Star Game, and the 2020-21 total is set a few points shy of that number.

With James and other stars, including Leonard, admitting their disinterest in this year’s game, bet UNDER 314.5 (-110) with players just looking to get back to meaningful games.

For those who want to get into NBA Betting, it is important to know that the NBA season runs from October to mid-April and is made up of 30 basketball teams. There are two major NBA events where betting is at its highest; these are the NBA All-star game and the NBA Championship. All-Star games made up of the Eastern Conference All Stars and the Western Conference All Stars. The NBA Championship is the final series between the two best teams in the NBA. This is a seven game series and bets can be placed on the series as a whole or each individual game.

Best Nba All Star Game Prop Bets

One of the main advantages of online NBA betting is that the betting can be a simple or as complex as you with to make it. In Basketball, there are a large number of bets that can be placed on any one game. Some of the most commonly placed bets are shown below:

• Straight win – This is a simple bet on who a bettor thinks will win the game.
• Over/ Under bets – In Over/Under bets, bookmakers set a total number of points to be scored between the two teams combined, and bettors can bet whether the actual amount of points scored will be over or under the set total.
• Line betting – Line betting is essentially margin betting. Here the bookmaker chooses the favorite in a game and then offers a ‘line’, that the favorites are predicted to win by. The bettor can then bet on whether the underdog will finish within that margin or win the game.
• Future bets – In NBA betting, at the beginning of the season, bettors can bet on which team will win the series, which player will win the Most Valuable Player award, who will score the most points as well as many other individual and team awards.
• Prop bets – These are more interesting bets that can be placed on any game such as, which team will score first or how many points and rebounds and individual player will make.
