The contestants are:
Donovan Mitchell – Jazz
Victor Oladipo – Pacers
Larry Nance Jr. – Cavaliers
Dennis Smith Jr. – Mavericks
I am betting Larry Nance Jr. at +220 for 2 units and Donovan Mitchell at +125 for 3 units. For those that don’t know, Larry Nance’s dad won the first ever dunk contest back in 1984. He will most likely bring out his dad to play to the judges, so he is almost guaranteed to make it past the first round. Dennis Smith is a freak athlete, but his wingspan is a foot shorter than all the other contestants. I just think Mitchell and Nance are more explosive and powerful than Oladipo. Larry Nance already has the dunk of the year over Kevin Durant. He has also dunked over past winner Blake Griffin this year. The odds have also come down for the both of these plays which I like.
