Free NBA All-Star Picks For Saturday February 19, 2022

First Event - Skills Challenge, 8:00PM ET

We've got a new look Skills Challenge for the 75th anniversary edition of NBA All-Star Weekend, with three teams competing in a series of challenges, with their shooting, passing and dribbling all being put to the test.

Let's look at the three teams and what they can all bring to the table, both individually and as a team.

Team Rookies: -145

(Scottie Barnes, Cade Cunningham, Josh Giddey)

The favorites for this contest, this team of rookies has the three most versatile guys in it, with Cade (6'7) Giddey (6'9) both the lead ball handlers for the teams right now at massive heights for point guards.

They should be good at all the events laid in front of them, but you simply an't be betting on a team at minus money in this event!

Team Cavs: +190

(Jarrett Allen, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley)

Team Cleveland is the second favorite for this one, with all three players also featuring in games this weekend, with Mobley in the Rising Stars tournament, and Jarrett Allen and Darius Garland suiting up for Sunday's main event.

The Cavs are our pick for this event, with their chemistry, home court support and underdog mentality the reasons we're taking them at nice plus money odds. 

Team Antetokounmpo: +410

(Alex, Giannis, Thanasis)

The longshots for this event, Giannis and his brothers are clearly not expected to keep up with the other two teams.

Giannis himself is of course extremely skillful for his height, but Thanasis is mostly known for his gritty defense. As for Alex, he is a skillful dude but will likely not be able to match it with guys like Garland and Giddey.

In saying that, any team that has Giannis in it is worth a sprinkle at +410!

BET: Team Cavs (+190)
