Since 2003, the NBA has held a Skills Challenge at All-Star Weekend, which is a timed competition that tests each player's ability to pass, shoot and dribble.
Boston Celtics wing Jayson Tatum took home the award last year, but he's not the 2020 betting favorite. That distinction currently goes to the winner of the 2018 Skills Challenge, Spencer Dinwiddie, who is listed at +250 odds.
Below him are Khris Middleton (+300) and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (+450). There are eight total players in the competition, which will be held Saturday night, along with the 3-Point Contest and Dunk Contest.
