NBA All-Star Weekend wraps up on Sunday night with the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. The format is a bit different this year, but we still have plenty of player props to bet on. Before we get into the top NBA All-Star player prop picks, let’s review the changes to this year’s competition.
The 24 NBA All-Stars were drafted into three different teams by Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith. Those teams and Friday’s winning Rising Stars Challenge team, coached by Candace Parker, will compete in a mini-tournament with three games played in total. Team Shaq will face Team Candace in one matchup and Team Chuck will take on Team Kenny in the other. The winners of both games then play each other. The first team to 40 points wins each game.
Let’s now get into some winning NBA All-Star player prop bet picks. Be sure to shop around at different sportsbooks to find the best odds and lines. The ones below are accurate as of this writing but always subject to change. Good luck.

NBA All-Star Game Player Prop Bet Picks
(Odds via BetMGM)
Steph Curry (Team Shaq)
Since the NBA All-Star Game is in San Francisco, it immediately puts Steph Curry on our radar. The Golden State Warriors star should be plenty comfortable playing in his home arena and shooting in front of the favorable Chase Center crowd. Curry may be on a loaded Team Shaq, but scoring eight or more points in the first game seems like a lay-up (pun intended).
Curry is averaging 21.8 points per game (PPG) across his nine career All-Star appearances and dropped 50 points just three years ago in this event. The sharpshooter has taken double-digit three-point attempts in every All-Star Game, too. Of course, the format is different this year with the games going quicker. Still, that won't stop Curry from getting his shots up - especially at home.
Despite Team Shaq boasting a ton of elite superstar talent, that could go in Curry's favor. The veterans ideally all respect Curry enough to digress to him being the top scoring option if he's on the floor. The crowd will surely egg him on to take stepback deep threes any time he has the ball. Let's not overthink it and back the sport's greatest shooter to show out at home.
Pick: Stephen Curry 8+ Points (+100)
Jayson Tatum (Team Shaq)
If you take one look at Team Shaq's roster, you'll notice something - besides all of the veteran superstars. There are no true centers on the team now that Anthony Davis is out with an injury. Davis would've gobbled up a ton of rebounds, especially against the Rising Stars squad in the first game.
This presumably leaves the bulk of rebounds to LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Jayson Tatum. You can look at rebound props for any, but Tatum is the safer pick. The Celtics star is statistically the best rebounder on Team Shaq this season, averaging 8.7 boards per game.
Tatum is an excellent rebounder from the wing position, which will be even more evident on a team without a prototypical big man in the paint. Durant and James could play more small-ball center, but Tatum should still have plenty of rebound opportunities.
Let's back him to grab at least three boards. This is a low bar for someone with Tatum's rebounding chops. The expected quick and up-tempo pace of the All-Star Game should lead to just enough missed shots with Tatum taking advantage.
Pick: Jayson Tatum 3+ Rebounds (-115)
Nikola Jokic (Team Chuck)
Nikola Jokic might be the best player in the NBA, but things are a bit different for the three-time MVP when it comes to the All-Star Game. Jokic is averaging just 7.3 PPG over his six All-Star appearances with fewer than 10 points in four. Unlike other stars around the league, the Serbian doesn't seem to care how much he scores in these All-Star Games.
Meanwhile, Jokic has shown off his passing ability in these exhibitions lately. He's averaging seven assists per game over his last four All-Star Games with five or more assists in each. Last year, Jokic had nine dimes. The Denver Nuggets star is averaging 10.2 assists per game this season, second in the NBA behind only Trae Young.
Even though Young is on Team Chuck with Jokic, that doesn't change the latter's penchant for dishing it out in these All-Star Games. Look for him to be a main facilitator on a roster that also features Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, Karl-Anthony Towns and Donovan Mitchell as volume scorers.
Jokic knows he can score against anyone. Yet, he usually takes a different approach in the All-Star Game and turns more into a passer first. Let's count on him to notch at least four assists in the first game.
Pick: Nikola Jokic 4+ Assists (-115)
