Free NBA All-Star Picks For Sunday February 20, 2022

NBA All-Star Game, 8:00PM ET

Top Pick for Team LeBron - Giannis Antetokounmpo (+460)

The reigning All-Star MVP is the short betting favorite to make it two in a row and it's not hard to see why.

In just 19 minutes last year, Giannis put up 35 points (including 3-3 from three), 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

Basically, Giannis is never not going to go hard in a game of basketball, even if it's seen as an exhibition game by a lot of the guys out there.

If you're liking Team LeBron to make it five from five, a better bet than their moneyline is to take this guy to win the MVP trophy.

Top Pick for Team Durant - Ja Morant (+650)

Speaking of guys that aren't ever going to take a game lightly, Ja Morant is set to feature in his first career All-Star game.

With KD injured, the weight of this team will be handed to Ja and Joel Embiid, with Ja being the one that looks the best bet for MVP.

Over his last 15 games, Ja has averaged 31.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 7.1 assists, so it's safe to say he's in some form.

Value Bet for Team LeBron - Nikola Jokic (+1900)

Yes, this is the All-Star game, but look at these numbers from Joker's last 15 games: 27.7 PPG, 13.5 RPG and 9.2 APG.

The league MVP is on fire!

Now, in last year's All-Star game, Nikola only attempted four (4!!) field goals in 19 minutes on the court. That ain't happening again.

If the defense is anything like what Giannis experienced on his way to winning in it last year (16-16 FG), then the Joker could have a field day.

Look for him to score 20 points, with about 10 assists on the side.

Value Bet for Team Durant - Devin Booker (+2600)

Devin Booker to win an award named after Kobe? Say less.

Book has never shied away from his love for the Kobe Bryant, before before his passing, or since.

Earlier this year, the Suns guard put up 43 points and 12 rebounds on the anniversary of Kobe's death.

For Team Durant to win this one, it's going to take an all-out effort from a bunch of their guys, and there's nothing surer than Devin Booker going hard all night in honor of his favorite player ever.

Couple in that determination with the scoring form he is in (28.4 PPG over his last 20), and we think we've have found some mega value here.
