The 2026 NBA All-Star festivities are here! Scheduled to kick off at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, the home of the LA Clippers, the weekend features multiple entertaining events. One of them is the State Farm 3-Point Contest, which features elite shooters from across the franchises, who are fighting for the title. The event will be broadcast on TSN and Sportsnet, and fans would be able to access the live streams on TSN+ and NBA League Pass.
The contest features five talented 2026 NBA All-Stars including Devin Booker, Tyrese Maxey, Jamal Murray, Donovan Mitchell and Norman Powell. However, fans wouldn’t be able to see Stephen Curry, one of the greatest 3-point shooters of the league due to runner’s knee.
Booker and Lillard have won the competition previously in 2018, 2023 and 2024, respectively, and hence, the debutants including the likes of Knueppel, Maxey, Murray and Bobby Portis would have to push themselves in order to take the glory home.
Here, we will dive into the odds and predictions regarding the 3-Point Contest, and see which player holds chances to win it.

Having been drafted fourth overall in the 2025 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets, Kon Knueppel is having a historic campaign. He is shooting 43.1% from the three-point line. Knueppel has already broken records as a rookie, and at odds as favorable as +380, he offers strong value for bettors over experienced vets.
Damian Lillard is a two-time champion of the contest, having won it in 2023 and 2024. Despite not having played all season, Lillard remains one of the top favorites to win the contest for a third time. Over seasons, the nine-time All-Star has proven that his volume, range and shot-making skills don’t need perfect mechanics. At +390, Lillard is right behind Knueppel to come on top of the contest.
The 29-year-old Phoenix Suns guard, Devin Booker, returns to the contest as a 2018 champion. This season, he is averaging 31.1% from the deep and has a career average of 35.1%. At 550+, he sits behind the Hornets’ first year and Lillard. However, his recent ankle injury puts him in a tough spot.
The Denver Nuggets star maintains a pretty handsome average of 42.5% from the three-point range, making him highly favorite to come on top. A solid mid-range bet, Murray can dominate the rest of the participants, if he finds rhythm early in the contest.
Tyrese Maxey, who has emerged as one of the top performers for the Philadelphia 76ers this season, is averaging 37.9% from the arc. He has got speed and volume, and definitely the potential to surprise everyone in the contest.
NBA State Farm 3-Point Contest Predictions
With odds as favorable as +380, Knueppel is highly likely to come on top and win the three-point contest. Lillard, on the other hand, has already tasted victory twice and is a reliable player if bettors are looking for someone who they can depend upon. However, considering how closely they are chasing each other in the odds table, one should expect a tight contest.
