2026 NBA 3-Point Contest odds, picks: Expert locks in his NBA best bets for All-Star Weekend

One of the annual highlights of NBA All-Star Weekend is the 3-Point Contest, and this year's event takes place on Saturday at 5 p.m. ET from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. The NBA Three-Point Contest 2026 field features two past winners in Devin Booker and two-time champion Damian Lillard, as well as All-Stars Donovan Mitchell, Tyrese Maxey, Jamal Murray and Norman Powell. Veteran Bobby Portis and rookie Kon Knueppel round out the 2026 NBA 3-Point Contest field.

Lillard and Knueppel are the +400 co-favorites, per the latest 3-Point Contest odds, with Murray close behind at +450. Maxey and Mitchell are both at +600 to utilize in NBA bets, followed by Powell (+650), who is a former LA Clipper and is familiar with the Intuit Dome rims. Completing the field are Booker at +750 and Portis at +1000.

Before locking in any 2026 NBA 3-Point Contest picks, be sure to see what SportsLine's NBA expert Mike Barner has to say.

Barner is one of the most respected voices in the industry, and his work has appeared in Sports Illustrated and on Yahoo, RotoWire and KFFL. He's also been featured on ESPN Radio. He digs deep into the data, examining team trends and projecting game outcomes. If there's anybody who can spot an edge in a matchup or identify a player in position to break out, it's him.

Barner's expertise has been on full display lately as he enters the All-Star break on an 37-15 run on NBA picks (+1934). He's coming off a dominant 2024-25 NBA season, finishing 239-178-2, which returned $3,209 to $100 bettors. Anyone following could have seen huge returns.

Now, Barner has analyzed the NBA 3-Point Contest 2026 from all angles and just locked in his coveted picks and All-Star Weekend predictions.

He is fading Damian Lillard, despite him being a two-time winner in this contest (2023, 2024). Lillard hasn't played a game this season as he recovers from a torn Achilles, so Barner says he may lack rhythm come Saturday.

Instead Barner is backing a sharpshooter he expects to make history in the 2026 NBA 3-Point Contest! You ABSOLUTELY need to see his analysis before locking in any picks of your own.
