2026 NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest Preview & Picks
Jaxson Hayes is tipped to win the Slam Dunk Contest on NBA All-Star weekend.
The Los Angeles Lakers center is attempting to become the first seven-footer to win the contest, and he has already showcased his dunking chops this season with that ‘between-the-legs’ slam against Chicago a couple of weeks ago.

What Is The 2026 NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest Format?
Four players are competing and their slam dunk attempts will be graded by five judges.
Each player gets two dunk attempts in the first round and their dunk attempt will be scored on a scale of 1-10 by each judge.
The two players with the highest cumulative score will advance to the final, where each man will get two more dunk attempts to determine the winner of the competition.
Verdict
Mac MaClung’s reign as the king of slam dunks will come to an end this year.
Carter Bryant and Jaxson Hayes are the joint favorites, but Bryant has missed a bunch of dunks in games this season so we lean towards Hayes delivering on Saturday night.
