There Is A Clear Betting Favorite To Win NBA’s 3-Point Contest

This weekend, the NBA will hold its annual three-point contest, which is always a chance to see the best shooters in the league show off their stuff.

Multiple big names will be giving it their greatest shot this year but one of them has the best odds to become champion.

According to Bovada, per NBACentral, Damian Lillard has the best odds to win the three-point contest.

He sits at +300 odds, followed by Buddy Hield with +450, Darius Garland with +500, Norman Powell with +650, Cameron Johnson with +700, Tyler Herro with +750, Jalen Brunson with +850, and finally Cade Cunningham with +1200.

Lillard is a two-time defending champion, and will definitely be playing as hard as he can to secure a three-peat.

That will be easier said than done this year.

The lineup is a who’s who of the NBA’s best three-point stars, and they will all be fighting for the fame and glory that comes with winning this sort of contest.

The oddsmakers say Hield has the strongest chance of beating Lillard, but any of these players could get hot from beyond the arc and take home the top prize.

Lillard has a 38.2 percent three-point percentage this year, which is slightly above his career average of 37.1 percent.

His numbers have bumped up a bit during his second year with the Bucks, and he is obviously more comfortable with his team and finding his footing again from three-point range.

He has had a few days off and has surely been practicing his shot and preparing to win this must-watch contest on Saturday night.
