NBA All-Star Game Odds: American Vets Expected to Beat Team World and Young Stars

The NBA All-Star Game is taking on a new life during All-Star Weekend, with three geographically based teams competing in a tournament for the All-Star Game Trophy.

USA Stripes, USA Stars, and Team World will duke it out in the NBA’s newest creation. Odds to win the NBA All-Star Game show that USA Stripes are a mild favorite, but everyone is in with a shout at the trophy.

Here’s everything there is to know about NBA All-Star Game odds, the format, the schedule, and my pick to win the All-Star Game.

All-Star Game Champion: My Pick

Looking purely at the rosters, USA Stars is clearly behind USA Stripes and Team World. However, this is the All-Star Game, where established veteran players are known to take it easy and conserve their energy while having a laugh with the boys.

USA Stars has plenty of talent, and they are very young. USA Stripes is old, and Team World is down several key players due to injury, not to mention their biggest stars have also taken this event very lightly in years past. I like the blend of ability and the energy that should come with USA Stars.
