Although the official teams aren’t set until 30 minutes before the game, we can still figure out how some of these all-stars will play in tonight’s game.
If you weren’t aware, Team LeBron and Team Giannis will be chosen just 30 minutes before the game. So we don’t know who is on what team. Yet, there are still lines for the game and player props for all starters.
Let’s hit them!
Last year, Team LeBron defeated Team Durant 163-160. Steph Curry took game-high 30-shot attempts, but he won’t be playing tonight’s game due to injury.
LeBron, Giannis, and Joel Embiid were the only three other players to attempt 20 or more field goals in the game. Giannis finished with 12 rebounds, while Nikola Jokic neared a triple-double. Those five will be in this year’s All-Star Game, including many other players who will get their first chance to shine.
I wouldn’t recommend betting on players who will play the game for the first time. Maybe that’s just me, but I still like going off data.
Here are four options for your Prize Picks parlay.

NBA All-Star Game Prize Picks Player Prop Picks
Nikola Jokic Over 29.5 Points, Rebounds, Assists (-128)
Last year, Nikola Jokic did it all. He only played 21 minutes but nailed four of five shots, with two of those five being from downtown. He also had nine rebounds and eight assists and neared a triple-double.
His usage will likely be the same regardless of the team he’s on. But he’s someone that the offense usually runs through. He enjoys passing in the All-Star Game and is big enough to earn many rebounds while taking some shots.
Take his Over. A 10-10-10 game would get us 30.
Joel Embiid Over 26.5 Points (-128)
Embiid is a ball hog. He took 20 shots last All-Star Game and drained five of nine from downtown. In that game, he finished with 36 points, shooting 70% from the field and 62.5% from deep. He’s a player that we should all be looking to hit for the MVP award.
LeBron James Over 2.5 Threes Made (-128)
LeBron has been hurt for a little bit. So what will he do? Probably settle from threes. In last year’s game, he took 11 three-point shots but only hit two.
But if he keeps up with that volume, he should be able to hit three threes in the game.
Kyrie Irving Over 2 Threes Made (-128)
Ultimately, Kyrie will be another high-volume shooter in tonight’s game. He took 15 shots and six three-point attempts in the 2021 All-Star Game. He’s finally feeling good about where he’s at in life and doesn’t have to use this weekend to recruit any players to the Mavericks.
He’s strictly there to enjoy himself and could put on a show.
