NBA All-Star Game 2023 odds, picks: NBA expert locks in his confident selection for 3-Point Contest

NBA All-Star Saturday Night 2023 should be another thrilling showcase of the league's talent, and the shooting stars will be on display in the night's second event, the Starry 3-Point Contest. Karl-Anthony Towns became the first center to win the title with his triumph in last year's 3-Point Contest, but he won't be in the field this year.

The 3-Point Contest 2023 follows the Skills Challenge on All-Star Saturday Night, which begins at 8 p.m. ET at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah. Damian Lillard and Buddy Hield are the co-favorites at +380 (risk $100 to win $380) in the 3-point Contest odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Kevin Huerter (+450) and Tyler Herro (+600) are next on the odds board, followed by Lauri Markkanen at +650. Jayson Tatum (+800), Tyrese Haliburton (+900) and Julius Randle (+1200) are going off as the biggest underdogs.
