2025 NBA All-Star Game Overview

The 2025 NBA All-Star Game has turned into a mini-tournament featuring 24 NBA All-Stars drafted into three teams by analyzers Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith. A fourth team will comprise players from the winning Team Mullin of the Rising Stars Challenge, with WNBA legend Candace Parker acting as the team’s manager.

The tournament structure allows the first team to reach or exceed 40 points to advance to the finals, where the first team to 25 points will win.

The event takes place at the Chase Center in San Francisco, with the first match slated for 8 p.m. ET on Sunday. The latest betting odds indicate Team Shaq as a 6.5-point favorite against Team Candace, while Team Chuck is favored by 3.5 points over Team Kenny.

Predictions from Expert Matthew Severance

Despite being the favorites, Severance doesn’t recommend Team Shaq for the tournament win due to potential challenges in the finals against either Team Kenny or Team Chuck. The star-studded roster includes top talents like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry.
