The three-point shootout is one of the most riveting events during NBA All-Star weekend, and this year’s showdown could be one of the best ever.
The modern NBA is all about long-range marksmanship and stretching the floor. As a result, the standard of shooting has increased dramatically, and the margins between the best shooters in the league have shrunk from where they used to be.
While bettors can wager on the outright winner of the three-point shootout (along with the Slam Dunk Contest, Skills Challenge, All-Star Game, and more), there is also a variety of prop bets available for users to pick from.
Here are a few of our favorite NBA Three-Point Shootout prop bets.

Beasley lit the world on fire from three this season, shooting 44.9% from range on 6.4 attempts per game. However, he is predominantly a catch-and-shoot player who benefits greatly from playing alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, whose gravity forces defenders to shrink off Beasley.
In a contest format where contestants are picking balls up off a rack, we don’t trust Beasley to be one of the best shooters in the field. He also isn’t too far removed from three straight seasons of shooting below 40% from three, and we could see some of that creep out this weekend.

Towns is one to sing his own praises, and he often refers to himself as the greatest shooting big man ever. He won the three-point shootout in 2022 and made 43.6% of his 5.2 attempts per game this season for the west-leading Minnesota Timberwolves.
The event favors players who usually don’t fall into cold streaks and can find a rhythm. Towns is exactly that type of player and already has proof of concept with his win from a couple of seasons ago, which is why his line (lower than most other contestants) is flat-out insulting.

The knee-jerk pick for this market is Damian Lillard, but as amazing as he is, he’s struggled from three so far. That’s why we’re looking to Donovan Mitchell, a player who can run red-hot, is used to creating his own shot, and loves to extend his range far beyond the three-point line.
Mitchell made seven shots from 30-34 feet thus far and just needs to knock down one uncontested shot from 29 feet and nine inches to cash this bet. He’ll get another chance if he advances out of the first round, but spoiler alert, we believe he will.

Brunson, who is shooting 41.1% from three on 6.5 attempts per game as an undersized guard who typically creates his own shot, meets all of the criteria for a successful three-point shootout participant. He’s consistent, doesn’t rely on catch-and-shoots, is confident, doesn’t run cold for too long when he’s off, and is used to coming up clutch for his team.
The majority of the other contestants are flawed in some aspect, whether it be their ability, catch-and-shoot preference, lack of “microwavability,” or anything else. Brunson continually defied the odds last year and through 52 games again this season and is a solid investment here.

Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter the game of basketball has ever seen, but Ionescu is a total beast. She made 44.8% of her 7.9 attempts per game for the New York Liberty. She also scored an absurd 37 of 40 possible points during the three-point shootout last year, marking the highest total ever set by man or woman.
The two are familiar with one another and have even spent time working out together. We expect to see a great show from both but can’t ignore the value of Ionescu’s odds given what she did the last time she participated in a three-point contest.
