Why Team Lebron is a good bet ATS
LeBron’s got history on his side. The King is undefeated in 2 straight. In 2018, Team LeBron beat Team Steph 148-145. Then last year, LeBron’s squad put a 178-164 beating onto Team Giannis. Not only that but during last week’s All-Star Draft, LeBron went for scorers like The Beard, Kawhi, Luka, and Russell. He knows that offense is where it’s at in the all-star matchup. LeBron’s team can roll.
Team LeBron Roster
- Anthony Davis
- LeBron James
- Luka Doncic
- James Harden
- Kawhi Leonard
- Domantas Sabonis
- Ben Simmons
- Jayson Tatum
- Nikola Jokic
- Damian Lillard
- Chris Paul
- Russell Westbrook
Why Team Giannis is a good bet ATS
Although Giannis didn’t draft the top scorers in the league, he might have got one over on LeBron. Joel Embiid dominates the paint. Nobody on Team LeBron can matchup with Big Joel. Then, Giannis drafted Trae Young. The Atlanta Hawk point guard averages 29.7 points per. Trae also dishes 9.2 assists per. Kemba Walker and Jimmy Butler can score while Rudy Gobert man’s the middle with Embiid. Giannis drafted a traditional inside-outside basketball squad of all-stars. It could work!
Team Giannis Roster
- Giannis Antetokounmpo
- Joel Embiid
- Kemba Walker
- Pascal Siakam
- Trae Young
- Bam Adebayo
- Jimmy Butler
- Khris Middleton
- Kyle Lowry
- Donovan Mitchell
- Rudy Gobert

Final 2020 NBA All-Stars Betting Analysis
Although Giannis stuck to his guns and drafted Eastern Conference players, let’s not kid ourselves. Again, LeBron’s got Giannis over a barrel. The LeBron-AD duo takes their Hollywood Land two-man game to Chicago on Sunday night.
LeBron and Anthony Davis are the reason the Lakers are so dominant this season. Expect The King to make his teammate look good on Feb. 16. Russell Westbrook and James Harden have turned the Rockets into contenders. Like LeBron and AD, Russell and The Beard will have a 2-man game going as well.
Then, LeBron got smart. He decided to draft Jason Taytum to keep the Celtics duo of Taytum and Walker from getting into a rhythm. Heck, if he wants, LeBron can pass the ball to Luka and let the Mavericks’ star create like crazy.
Any way we cut it, Team LeBron has the upper hand. Back The King’s squad to win and cover.
