Chris: What’s up, everyone? Welcome back to Courtside Chaos! I’m Chris, here with my buddy Tom, and today we’ve got something exciting – the NBA All-Star Weekend! We’re talking all the best bets and player props, and trust us, this year’s tournament-style All-Star Game is shaking things up!
Tom: That’s right, Chris! And we’ve got some seriously fun odds on FanDuel to dive into, because this year’s event is far from your typical All-Star Game. With the new team format and a first-to-40 battle, it’s anyone’s game. And we’re gonna help you find those hidden gems. Let’s start with the action, right out of the gate!
Chris: Let’s do it! First up, we’ve got Team Kenny’s “Young Stars” going up against Team Chuck’s “Global Stars.” Now, on paper, Team Chuck looks pretty stacked—but here’s the catch: no Giannis, no Luka, and honestly, their roster isn’t built for the quick, high-scoring pace that this format demands.
Tom: Yeah, and that’s why I’m liking Team Kenny’s Young Stars at +144 on FanDuel. These guys are playing with a chip on their shoulder – think Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson, Cade Cunningham – all these guys have something to prove. And when you look at the three-point shooting, the Young Stars have the edge.
Chris: Exactly. And if we’re talking player props, here’s one that’s caught my eye on FanDuel: Tyler Herro to score 6+ points at +134. Now, I know there’s been some debate on whether he should be in this game with LaMelo Ball out, but Herro’s got the game to prove he belongs.
Tom: For sure. Herro’s a guy who can knock down shots—he’s averaging over seven attempts from three a game. I could see him coming off the bench and draining a couple of triples. You’ve got that at FanDuel for plus money, so it’s a solid bet to consider.
Chris:
Totally! And now, let’s switch over to the match-up between Team Shaq’s OGs and Team Candace’s Rising Stars. This is where things get fun. Team Shaq’s got all the big names – KD, Curry, you name it. But on the other side, we’ve got Team Candace with guys like Amen Thompson, who’s playing out of his mind.
Tom: Yeah, and that’s why I’m looking at the line for Team Candace’s Rising Stars at +6.5 at FanDuel. That’s a lot of points to cover, especially in a game where defense isn’t exactly going to be the main focus. And you know these young guys are going to play their hearts out.
Chris: Absolutely. I think this is going to be a high-energy game, and FanDuel has this one lined up perfectly. And speaking of Team Candace, don’t sleep on Kevin Durant to score 6+ points at +102. Durant’s game is all about the pull-up jumper, and there’s no one on the Rising Stars roster who can match his size or skill.
Tom: Oh, I’m all over that one. I’m expecting KD to come out hot, knock down a couple of shots, and hit that 6-point mark easily. And if you’re looking for some longer shots, Durant’s odds to win MVP at +1800 on FanDuel are really interesting. He could easily go off in this setting.
Chris: Yeah, that’s a great value bet right there. And let’s talk about the NBA All-Star Tournament winner. Team Shaq is the favorite at +100, but I’m putting my money on Team Kenny’s Young Stars at +450. They’ve got a mix of hunger and talent, and they’ve got six players in the top-18 for player impact estimate. Don’t sleep on them.
Tom: I like that pick, Chris. Team Kenny has no shortage of talent. If you’re betting on them, those odds at +450 are definitely worth a look. You can grab all these odds and more at FanDuel, where they have a ton of markets for All-Star Weekend. Whether you’re into moneylines, props, or futures, FanDuel has got you covered.
