NBA All-Star Weekend will conclude with it’s annual All-Star game, however, this year’s format is a bit different. It’s tournament style and will feature four teams. The games will be played to 40 points, and whichever team reaches that mark first wins. It should be interesting to see how this format plays out, but, either way – I’m looking forward to it because of my DraftKings Pick6 predictions. Here are your top two plays for today’s NBA All-Star Game!

Steph Curry M/L Than 10.5 Points
This year’s NBA All-Star Game is taking place at the Chase Center in San Francisco, home of the Golden State Warriors.
Often, when the All-Star Game is held in a particular city, the top player from the home team tends to shine. Teammates will look to set them up for success, allowing them to take center stage in front of their home crowd.
I expect that to be the case tonight with veteran guard Steph Curry. Let’s be honest—he doesn’t need home-court advantage to score over 10.5 points, but it certainly adds extra incentive.
Additionally, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver mentioned that he and Curry discussed last year’s underwhelming All-Star Game, so I expect Curry to be motivated to put on a show this time around.
Look for a big game from the league’s best shooter tonight.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Steph Curry More Than 10.5 Points
Cade Cunningham M/L Than 4.5 Points
Cade Cunningham will make his All-Star Game debut at just 23 years old. This season with the Pistons, he’s averaged over 25 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds per game—firmly establishing himself as one of the league’s top performers.
He was drafted to “Team Kenny,” led by Kenny Smith, a squad filled with young stars from around the league. His teammates include standout players like Jalen Brunson, Anthony Edwards, and Darius Garland.
In this youthful group, someone will need to step up as a go-to scorer. While that role could fall to Edwards or Brunson, Cunningham has a clear path to making a significant impact. If opposing defenses lock in on the other stars, Cunningham should be the next best option. As a natural facilitator and shot creator, he’ll have no trouble finding opportunities—and clearing a low prop line of 4.5 should be well within reach.
