The 2024 NBA All-Star game is here, returning to the favourite East vs West showdown format. It sticks to tried-and-true rules, with four 12-minute quarters and standard NBA scoring methods. As for the location, action will take place inside the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.
LeBron James leads the West, and Giannis Antetokounmpo heads the East. They’re not just making big plays for their teams, though. They were chosen as captains through a vote. Half of this vote came from fans, a quarter from the media, and the rest from the players themselves.

All-Star Game Odds
Bet 1 – West All-Stars Moneyline
The West are the favourites in this matchup, albeit rather slightly. This is mostly due to the powerhouse duo of LeBron James and Kevin Durant featuring in the side. Of course, the other players cannot be overlooked, with the West All-Star team having solid durability, making them well-rounded as a squad! We expect them to find victory in what will likely be a tight contest.
Bet 2 – West All-Stars -2.5
These All-Star games are often high-scoring affairs, which often causes handicaps to be vastly different. However, in this case, West All-Stars winning by 3 points or more sits at around evens. We think this could be a good value bet for those who believe the West will win semi-comfortably.
Bet 3 – Total Under 369.5
While these games are usually high scoring, as touched on earlier, the over/under bet has seemingly inflated considerably when compared to previous years.
The highest this line has been before was 352.5 in 2017 and while it’s likely to be an entertaining game, 370 points in a game featuring standard NBA rules is certainly a lot!
