💰 Best NBA Dunk Contest bet: Keshad Johnson to win (+370) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
Johnson and Bryant are both 6-foot-6 - 19 of the 31 Dunk Contest winners have been between 6-foot-4 and 6-foot-8 - but Johnson is listed at nearly double the payout.
Johnson being the least-known player in this year’s Dunk Contest is a plus for us, as people are unfamiliar with just how athletic he is. While Carter also has a solid chance of winning, Johnson’s odds are far too inflated to ignore.
This bet is playable up to +250.
