Vik’s pick: Zach LaVine +500

I wanted to pick Devin Booker just so I could write “wet like I’m Book” (Drake), but I’m going with my guy from Chi-town, Zach LaVine.

LaVine’s odds are too sweet to pass up here. The guard comes into the contest hot, shooting 46.1% on threes over his last ten games. Zach actually ranks first in 3-point percentage among the contestants, shooting 43.5% on the year. LaVine also shoots 48.3% on catch and shoot 3’s, second only to Steph Curry in the field.

I also love that he participated in the contest last year and has a strategy coming into it this time around.

At 5-1 odds, I like the value.

Reed’s Pick: Devin Booker +200

Booker has a ton of experience in the three-point contest. He won the whole thing in 2018, is making his fifth appearance, and is rightfully co-favorites with Stephen Curry.

While Curry will be the popular pick, I’ll take the Phoenix Suns guard. He is coming off Western Conference Player of the Month honors in February, but didn’t make the initial All-Star team.

He’s filling in for Anthony Davis and should come in with a chip on his shoulder. That’s enough for me.
