Tonight’s NBA HORSE Challenge will bring together current and retired NBA and WNBA players in search of a trophy they can win in gyms near their home. And DraftKings Sportsbook is giving away $1000 to the winner of a picks contest tonight based on what will happen, so you can pick up a prize from the comfort of your couch!
Need some advice on who will shoot to thrill tonight? We asked 18 media members and hoop heads to give us their choices for tonight’s contest, yours truly included. You can go your own way, but see what the pros think before they look silly with their selections on tonight’s four battles. The first round of the contest will be held tonight from 7-9:00 p.m. ET on ESPN, with the semifinals and finals set for Thursday night at 9:00 p.m.
