It’s one thing to bet on the NBA during the regular season, but it’s
something else entirely to predict the result of an artistic display
like the dunk competition. High-flying rookie Zach LaVine has the -110
advantage for good reason, but there’s no guarantee that his athleticism
will be enough to appease the panel.Dark horse candidate Victor Oladipo
is only +300 on the moneyline for the competition. But if his
competition portfolio is anything like his in-game portfolio, the rest
of the contestants better be careful.
The other candidates, Giannis Antetokounmpo (+225) and Mason Plumlee
(+700), will have to shed the preconceptions of big men struggling in
slam dunk contests. They’re both capable of making noise in NBA arenas,
but the creative environment of a competition is a different story.
If you’re looking for a more objective competition, check out the odds
for the Three-Point Shootout competition. Although Stephen Curry (+225)
is a popular favorite, it seems equally plausible that anybody in the
contest could walk away victorious.
