Brown +6.5 at Princeton (-110, BetMGM)

Brown is 14-7-2 ATS this season and 5-0 ATS in the last five road games. Brown also covered the spread in the last meeting with Princeton with a 72-70 win as the underdog in January. Brown has also won four of the last five and covered the spread in four straight, so I like Brown to cover again here on the road at Princeton.

Mac McClung To Win the NBA Dunk Contest (+150, FanDuel)

Having just watched a video of McClung’s Top 10 dunks, I will have to go with him to win this contest. The guy puts some pizzazz into it and even though he is only 6-2, that makes me want to take him to win this even more because who can forget 5- 9 Nate Robinson’s three dunk contest wins in five years? I really like McClung to blow everyone else out of the water in this contest and take home the win. 

Buddy Hield 3-Pt Contest Winner (+425, BetMGM)

Hield is leading the NBA in 3-pointers this season, which explains why he is one of the favorites here tied with Damian Lillard, and I think he can win. Hield has hit 230 3-pointers this year (42.6%) with 12 of them over his last three games before the All-Star Break, so he’s in the zone. And he was 6-for-10 on 3s in the final game before the break. So I like Hield to win this contest Saturday.
