An exciting NBA season has brought us to All-Star Weekend. Many of the league’s most talented players will come together for an exciting battle at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, this Sunday, Feb. 15.
We’ve got a brand new format for the 2026 All-Star Game. There are three teams: USA Stars, USA Stripes, and Team World. The Stars and Stripes will include American players, while Team World will have the rest of the world. Each team will face each other once. From there, the two squads with the best record will go at it in the championship game, with point differential as a tiebreaker.
So who will win: USA Stars, USA Stripes, or Team World? Here’s a look at the latest odds and my best bets ahead of the action.

NBA All-Star Game Prediction
This innovative format should be refreshing, especially since we’re getting multiple games. Players should be motivated because they’re competing for their country. There’s also $125,000 awarded to each player of the winning team, and $50,000 to each player of the runner-up. It’s a great competition that features NBA MVP candidates and superstars.
My pick to win the 2026 NBA All-Star Game is Team World, which boasts three of the best players in the world in Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, and Victor Wembanyama. Just imagine the lobs from Doncic to Wembanyama in this one. Wemby should also protect the rim at a high level, which could be an edge in this competition.
My runner-up prediction is USA Stripes, as I’m betting that Kawhi Leonard puts on a show in his home stadium. Add in future Hall of Famers Kevin Durant and LeBron James, and look out.
No matter how it turns out, we should see an exciting competition. It’s cool to see how NBA commissioner Adam Silver continues to look for innovative ways to change up the league.
NBA All-Star Game Best Bet
Team World (+160)

I simply can’t pass up a team that has superstars like Doncic, Jokic, and Wembanyama.
Just think about Doncic driving the lane and Jokic finding Victor Wembanyama on a cut to the basket.

While the value isn’t great at (+160) odds, this is the best option because it’s quite clearly the best team on paper.
