The NBA Slam Dunk Contest is tonight, and the best song players in the league are going to try and determine who among them is the best dunker. 

One of the best events of All-Star Weekend has long been the Slam Dunk Contest, as the event is always an orgy of celebrities, slam dunks and classic moments.

Of course, with fewer and fewer established stars participating in the event, the Slam Dunk Contest has taken hits over the years but that doesn’t mean tonight won’t be exciting. Some of the best young stars in the game will be trying to prove their dunking supremacy and we will be watching a page turn in the NBA book, as the next generation of players establishes itself.

The only question is, with all of these young stars participating — who will win?

Here are the odds for tonight’s Slam Dunk Contents, courtesy of Odds Shark:

Zach LaVineMinnesota Timberwolves-110
Giannis AntetokounmpoMilwaukee Bucks+225
Victor OladipoOrlando Magic+300
Mason PlumleeBrooklyn Nets+700

Andrew Wiggins was named the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge MVP on Friday night, which puts the pressure on his Timberwolves teammate Zach LaVine to come out and perform at the highest level. But the ‘Greek Freak’, Giannia Antetokounmpo may use this Slam Dunk Contest as his coming out party, much in the same way that Blake Griffin did a few years ago.

Either way, the field may be young, but the talent is there and that’s what counts this year.

So where can you catch the Slam Dunk Contest and when will it all go down? We have all the information you need right here so you don’t miss a second of the action.
