The All Star game isn't something I'd heavily bet. In fact, I'm not taking a side or the O/U in it. I do see a couple bets that are interesting though and probably have a good shot:

T.Duncan misses first shot attempt (-120)
K.Bryant misses first shot attempt (-125)
K.Love makes first shot attempt (-130)
B.Griffin makes first shot attempts (-150)

Thoughts?

wouldn't count on ANYONE missing their first shot, unless it's a d howard ft.

I could see Kobe forcing something early, and Duncan missing a mid-range jumper.

Love and Griffin both have great shooting percentages and will probably have a layup/dunk as their first attempts.

good luck with the 1st shot bets...i went with player vs player

(1171) Chris Bosh (East) -1½ (-120) Sun@8:25p
Competitor1170) Al Horford (East)

(1159) Dirk Nowitzki (West) Pick (-120) Sun@8:25p
Competitor1158) Paul Pierce (East)

(1151) Carmelo Anthony (West) -1½ (-125) Sun@8:25p
Competitor1150) Amare Stoudemire (East)

I like the Anthony pick.

I feel like Bosh and Horford will both be no shows. Dirk should outscore Pierce, but Pierce has been known to hit shots just to be annoying lol.

Good luck man!

Agreed on Melo. Amare's been playing a ton of minutes and D'antoni and he are probably not too interested in him getting many minutes, and i'm sure Doc's been made aware. Plus, Melo's got the better pg's to feed it to him and it's one of his last chances to put on a show for NY, like he's been doing for weeks.

Wouldn't bet against Pierce (or any of the C's) with his own teammates and coach there with him.

Well, only went 2/4 with these

Won Kobe missing and Griffin making.
