The first event on Saturday is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET, and the Slam Dunk Contest is the final event of the evening. Carter Bryant (Spurs) is the +180 favorite in the Slam Dunk Contest odds, followed by Jaxson Hayes (Lakers) at +250, Keshad Johnson (Heat) at +320 and Richardson (Magic) at +350.
In 2016, we saw one of the most unforgettable dunk contests. And despite what some may say, Aaron Gordon wasn't robbed.
The NBA announced Tuesday that former players Dwight Howard, Dominique Wilkins, Nate Robinson and Brent Barry will be the judges for this year's Slam Dunk Contest during All-Star Weekend.
Lakers fans understand Hayes' athleticism and will be interested to see if he can become the new Slam Dunk champ. He's been more than just a high flier for JJ Redick's roster, averaging 6.4 points and 3.8 rebounds in 42 games. His two-point field goal percentage is at a career high of 77.5%, which highlights the impact Luka had on his shot quality.
