By: Cooper Albers

A former staple of NBA All-Star Saturday returns this weekend as sharpshooting trios take the floor in the 2026 Kia Shooting Stars. 

The timed shooting competition features four teams — each comprising two NBA players and one NBA legend — with rosters built around All-Star connections, school and team affiliations, and even family ties.

Let’s take a look at the teams and break down the opening odds for the event on DraftKings Sportsbook


Opening Odds for the 2026 NBA Shooting Stars on DraftKings Sportsbook

Team Knicks (+150)

The current favorites boast All-Stars Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns alongside former New York legend Allan Houston.

Team Cameron (+250)

This trio of former Duke standouts once starred at Cameron Indoor Stadium: Hawks forward Jalen Johnson, Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel, and former 14-year NBA veteran Corey Maggette.

Team All-Star (+400)

Raptors sparkplug Scottie Barnes, NBA champion Chet Holmgren, and three-time All-Star Richard Hamilton are no strangers to All-Star Weekend.

Team Harper (+450)

Five-time NBA champion Ron Harper Sr. teams up with his sons, Spurs guard Dylan Harper and Celtics guard Ron Harper Jr.


2026 NBA Shooting Stars Format

The 2026 NBA Shooting Stars features a two-round format: all four teams compete in the opening round, and the top two advance to the final.

Teams have 1:10 to score points while shooting from seven different locations. All three players take shots at each spot in a set order. 

NBA All-Star Saturday tips off at 5 p.m. ET at Inglewood’s Intuit Dome, beginning with the State Farm 3-Point Contest and culminating with the AT&T Slam Dunk Contest.
