Damian Lillard Wins The Starry 3-Point Contest
The NBA 3-Point Contest was the second event of All-Star Saturday night at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The players had a minute and 10 seconds to hit as many of the 27 possible three-point shots as they can in the time they had. The balls were divided into five racks around the arc, with each shot counting as one point … but then there were special “money” balls worth two.
The fifth rack had all money balls, and there were two extra balls at “Starry range” worth three points.
The top three players from the first-round advanced to compete in the final round after some overtime drama.
Participating players and their betting odds to win the event were:
Damian Lillard +450
Tyrese Haliburton +480
Trae Young +550
Donovan Mitchell +650
Jalen Brunson +650
Karl-Anthony Towns +700
Lauri Markkanen +700
Malik Beasley +850
