Could Betting on the NBA All-Star Game Be the Secret to Enjoying It This Year?
The format for the All-Star Game is to have three teams in a round robin of games. This is similar to last year, but this year the teams are divided up by two USA teams and one world team. I’m not going to list rosters for you, because honestly, that would be boring.Â
The first game is between the USA Stars and the World team. If the World team had every player, and they were all trying, I think they would blow out the Americans, even if they combined both USA teams. That’s a debate for a different day. However, the World team is missing Giannis Antetokounmpo, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Luka Doncic. So, basically, three of their starting five players. They do still have some solid players. The best player in the world, Nikola Jokic will play, but he doesn’t really try in these exhibitions. Victor Wembanyama, who is partially credited with the idea, will try and likely will do well. Believe it or not it is hard to stop a 7ft 3 inch alien. The rest of the team, though, is not all that impressive, and I don’t think they have a point guard or really any guard depth. The USA Stars don’t have the same injury concern. They have some decent people to guard Team World as well. I actually think they have two players who might really try – Anthony Edwards and Cade Cunningham. I could be very wrong, but both seem to like the attention, and I think we could see them both light it up. Give me the Stars +120 on the moneyline.
