The best 2021 NBA All-Star Game player props

In spite of the obstacles offered by COVID-19, the 70th annual NBA All-Star Game will take place in Atlanta this Sunday (8 p.m. ET, TNT). LeBron James and Kevin Durant – captains of their respective squads – assembled two of the finest teams the association has to offer.

And we have assembled some interesting prop wagers for the NBA’s showcase event. Join us as we highlight our three favorite props for the All-Star Game.

Bradley Beal: Over/Under 15.5 points

No NBA player has taken more shots per game this year than Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (23.88). But it hasn’t been in vain, as he’s averaging a league-high 32.9 points per game.

There’s more talent to go around on Team Durant than there is on the Wizards, but bettors should still expect Beal to take and sink his fair share of shots on Sunday. This line looks fairly modest too.

NBA All-Star Game pick: Over (-118)

Donovan Mitchell Over/Under 9.5 points

The buzz word surrounding Donovan Mitchell and Utah Jazz teammate Rudy Gobert has been “disrespect.” Despite playing for the best team in basketball (27-9 record, 2.5 games ahead of the Phoenix Suns), Mitchell and Gobert were the last two players selected by LeBron and Durant in the NBA All-Star Game player draft.

Mitchell can score with the best of them, but he can be at home as a distributor too. With his minutes likely to be limited, don’t be surprised if Mitchell fails to break double-digit points on Sunday.

NBA All-Star Game pick: Under (-110)

Damian Lillard: Over/Under 15.5 points

The word “snub” has followed Damian Lillard around for most of his career when it comes to the NBA All-Star Game.

He’s making his sixth straight appearance as an All-Star reserve on Sunday, as he lost out on a starting role to Dallas Mavericks standout Luka Doncic. Lillard is averaging 29.8 points per game this season, third behind only Beal and Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (30.2 points per game).

Lillard has not failed to let these snubs motivate him in the past – he’s combined to take 31 shots in the last two All-Star Games alone. The Trail Blazers star can hit from just about anywhere inside half court on a whim, and with defense being at a premium in this event, don’t be surprised if Lillard easily eclipses his listed point total here.
