Team LeBron favored by 5 in All-Star Game, AD favorite for MVP

The All-Star Weekend has finally arrived, as things will be getting underway later this evening in Chicago, starting with the Celebrity All-Star Game and the Rising Stars Game later on this evening. While there is some excitement surrounding All-Star Saturday night and the dunk contest, the main event comes on Sunday as Team LeBron will look to win for the third straight season.

According to the folks at BetOnline, Team LeBron is a 5-point favorite for Sunday while Anthony Davis is a 4/1 favorite to win All-Star MVP, followed closely by LeBron at 9/2. LeBron was the All-Star MVP at the 2018 All-Star Game in Los Angeles.

The folks at BetOnline also have the over-under set at 300.5 points, which seems like a lot, but teams have come close to scoring almost 200 points over the past few seasons. However, this season’s new format, where each quarter will represent an individual win, could change the way scoring goes as teams may be more incentivized to play defense.
