Read our This year’s contest will have some familiar faces, including Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, who still hasn’t returned from the Achilles injury he suffered in the playoffs last season.
He will garner a ton of attention because people love a good story, and he won the contest in back-to-back seasons in 2023 and 2024.Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey, who is competing for the first time, has +650 odds, along with Suns guard Devin Booker.Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell , Heat guard Norman Powell and Bucks big man Bobby Portis round out the field.He’s had a rough shooting season, hitting just 31.1 percent of his 3s, but Booker is a career 35 percent shooter who is often taking high difficulty shots as the No. 1 option on his team.Booker won this competition in 2018, also in L.A., with a score of 28, the second-highest score in a final round.
