The 3-Point Contest takes place on Saturday night!

2025 NBA All-Star 3-Point Contest Preview & Picks

Damien Lillard is tipped to complete a three-peat of All-Star 3-point contest successes.

Lillard ranks just sixth out of the field in three-point percentage this season, but he has nobody trying to stop him here so we are standing by the back-to-back defending champion.

  • Damiel Lillard won the 2023 and 2024 NBA All-Star 3-point contests
  • Only 2 men have won more NBA All-Star 3-point contests than Damian Lillard

What Is The 2025 NBA All-Star 3-Point Contest Format?

Each player has 60 seconds to take 25 three-point shots, with five racks of five balls placed around the three-point line.

Each shot made is worth one point, except for the rack containing the ‘money balls’. For each ‘money ball’ shot made, the player gets two points.

At the end of the first round the three players with the highest score will advance to the championship round.

The championship round will then follow the same format as round one, with the player scoring the most points crowned the NBA All-Star 3-Point Contest champion.
