2026 NBA All-Star Game Betting

The NBA All-Star game is changing once again. The league has tinkered with different formats throughout the past few years, trying to inject excitement into a game that has lost its luster. Their latest change is the most dramatic. This year's game will feature a theme of America versus the World. The hope is that adding an element of national pride will lead to more competitive play.

This year's game will feature a round robin tournament between two American teams and one World team. Each team must have at least eight players. Participants from both the Eastern and Western conferences will be mixed among all three teams.

There will be four games in total, each lasting 12 minutes. In the round-robin tournament, Team A will play Team B in Game 1. The winning team from Game 1 will face Team C in Game 2, followed by the losing team from Game 1 meeting Team C in Game 3.

After Game 3, the two teams with the best records will advance to face each other in the championship game (Game 4). If all three teams have a 1-1 record after Game 3, the tiebreaker would be point differential in each team’s two round-robin games.

NBA All-Star Game Results (2000)

It doesn’t have as much meaning now, but the Eastern Conference holds a 38-28 advantage in the NBA All-Star Game. In the six-year era of team captains, Team LeBron won the first five games before losing in 2023. If the current format remains intact we’ll never see another game like the 2024 edition. The East set an ASG record for points in their 211-186 triumph knocking down a record 42 three-pointers.

What we will see is a player winning the game’s MVP, which is always a popular wager over All-Star Weekend. Teams have fewer players, but in order to get the games squeezed into a single evening they’ll be much shorter. Damian Lillard won the award last season making 11 threes and scoring 39 points. Russell Westbrook joined rarified air in 2016 when he won the award for the second straight year, becoming the first man in NBA history to do that. He's not the only player to be named the game’s MVP multiple times though. Bob Pettit and Kobe Bryant hold the record for the most NBA All-Star Game MVP’s with four, while Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Jordan, and LeBron have won it three times.
