2010 NBA All Star Match
Well here we are again, All Star weekend in the NBA as the best from the East take on the best from the West. This match is literally going to be the biggest NBA All Star match in history with over 90,000 people expected to be in attendance at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, crushing the old record of 78,129 for a basketball match in America.
This match is always a great spectacle with the best NBA players going head to head. The West won last year event 146-119 in a landslide as Kobe Bryant and Shaq ran riot. Kobe won’t be playing this year due to injury, but the West are still favourites at $1.82, with the East at $2.00 at Centrebet.
The West will be very strong and hard to stop in the paint with guys like Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Zach Randolph and Tim Duncan, while on the offensive end they look unstoppable with Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony both averaging 29 points a game this year, and backup coming from the likes of Chauncey Billups, Chris Paul, Brandon Roy and Steve Nash. There doesn’t appear to be too many weaknesses in this team.
However, The East has one man who can weaken The West – that man is LeBron James. LeBron absolutely loves this stage having won two All Star MVP’s and he is having perhaps one of his best seasons yet this year. He will be supported by the likes of Dwayne Wade, Rajon Rondo and Allen Iverson on the offensive end, while in the paint they have rebound king Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett, Chris Bosh and Al Horford.
Both sides have formidable line ups, but we’re going with The West, they just have too much quality for The East to handle. Take The East -1 at $1.91 and also look at the Under 261.5 at $1.90 for this one. Catch all the action live on ESPN from midday.
East Line Up
LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson, Derrick Rose, Gerald Wallace, Paul Pierce, Dwight Howard, Allen Iverson, Rajon Rondo, Al Horford
West Line Up
Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Dirk Nowitzki, Brandon Roy, Amare Stoudemire, Zach Randolph, Chris Paul, Chris Karman, Chauncey Billups, Tim Duncan, Steve Nash, Pau Gasol.
