Team Durant vs. Team LeBron Player Props Picks

The NBA All-Star Game is one of the best days of the season. If you like offense, this is the game you want to watch.

NBA Betting Sites

Team Durant will take on Team LeBron. As usual, LeBron drafted the better team.

This year’s game may be a blowout considering Kevin Durant is not playing for his own team. The spread has value in favor of LeBron, but player props are your best bet. Let’s get into some of the best plays for the 2022 NBA All-Star Game.

First Basket: LeBron James (+700)

The first basket plays are very tough to bet and win. However, it will be very lucrative if you hit the first basket.

LeBron has the better team, and he is the captain. This game will also be played in Cleveland so expect the player to show up for his city.

LeBron is playing tremendous basketball, and he is used to taking control. You can blame the terrible Lakers for this quality.

I expect the King to take the ball and go right to the hoop. If LeBron’s team wins the jump, this is a terrific bet. With the value at +700, there is no better call.

NBA Odds

LeBron 20+ Points/Team to Win (+154)

The player performance doubles are very lucrative. I would pair all your props with Team LeBron to win because they are much better. LeBron is the captain, and there will be over 300 points scored in this game.

With this being said, how can you not like James to go over his total? There is tremendous value when you pair it with his team to win.

James is averaging 29.1 points per game, and there will be a lot more chances to score on Sunday. This is the easiest play on the list.

Andrew Wiggins Under 11.5 Points (-110)

Andrew Wiggins should not be in the All-Star Game. I have no clue how he made the All-Star team because he has not been good. He has been a decent role player for the Warriors, but that is not All-Star worthy.

Wiggins is averaging 17.7 points per game, but I do not think he gets a lot of looks. He will head to the bench quickly.

One total you may want to go over on is his assists. However, points should be faded at all costs.

It’s too risky to take over points on a questionable game selection guy.

NBA Picks

Jayson Tatum Over 19.5 Points (-110)

Team Durant is going to need someone to step up on Sunday. They have Joel Embiid, who will likely be sensational.

However, they need another player to drop 20. This could be Ja Morant, but I am more inclined to pick Jayson Tatum.

Tatum is in his third All-Star Game, so I like him to have a huge night.

Stephen Curry Over 19.5 Points (-110)

Stephen Curry is one of the best snipers in the game from long range. When he gets going in the All-Star Game, he can get over this total quickly. I like Curry to knock down threes en route to going over his total.
