Sunday night will see the 2023 NBA All-Star Game. After a full slate of offerings, including the Rising Stars Challenge Friday and Saturday’s Skills Challenge, 3-Point Contest, Slam Dunk Contest, and Saturday’s Skills Challenge, the marquee mid-season event for the league takes center stage. A new format will be used for roster selection this year. The teams will be chosen by the captains just before the first tip. LeBron James, Lakers’ star, will lead one side. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks’ star, will lead the other side at Vivint arena. Antetokounmpo was injured in his wrist and left Thursday’s game. His status for the weekend is uncertain and disadvantageous for the team. NBA ALL-Star betting odds and picks are up for online bettors.

NBA ALL-Star Game Control

The NBA All-Star Game differs from other NBA games, which have a continuous running score. There are three quarters, a fourth quarter and an Elam end. Each team must win each of the 12 minute-long quarters. Each quarter ends with an unofficial score of 0-0. The fourth quarter does not have a clock and instead has a special score that determines who is the overall winner. The sum of all three quarters is added together to determine Kobe Bryant’s jersey score. The team with the highest final score is declared the winner.

NBA ALL-Star Game: Team Lebron vs Team Giannis Prediction and History

The NBA All-Star Game has one consistent theme: it was the “offense”. We expect a similar outcome on Sunday as last season’s game, which saw a 163-165 scoreline. Our experts believe that we will see more scoring in this season’s All-Star Game.

LeBron James (31.0 ppg) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (27.0 ppg) are the two top scorers in the NBA. However, there are many scorers involved in this game. Conference has already organized the starters and reserve teams. It will be interesting to see which LeBron or Giannis picks. Superstars such as Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic and Kyrie Irving are great options for the first overall selection, but there’s plenty of depth in this draft.

LeBron would be pictured teaming up with Kyrie Irving, his former teammate. Giannis will likely pick Luka or Tatum as his first overall selection. It will be interesting, however, to see where Joel Embiid and Ja Morant land, as well as Lauri Markkanen. All these players can score better points every night.

We expect plenty of scoring, regardless of who Giannis or LeBron selects. We expect this trend to continue on Sunday. Over the past seven All-Star Games.

LeBron isn’t a great general manager for the Lakers but he has excelled at selecting All-Star teams. His teams are now 4-0 with two victories over Team Giannis in 2019 and 2020. It was an easy pick for online bettors. NBA All-Star prediction favored Team Lebron to drop their opponent.
