Poll: Who Will Win Three-Point Contest?

Stephen Curry, the NBA’s most renowned long-distance shooter, won’t be participating in this Saturday’s three-point contest in Los Angeles, but the last two winners of the event will be looking to bring home another three-point title.

Curry’s teammate Klay Thompson (.455 3PT%), the 2015/16 champion, is the favorite to come out on top in this year’s event, according to betting site Bovada.lv. Right behind him is Rockets guard Eric Gordon (.334), who will be looking to defend his three-point title after winning last year in New Orleans.

While Thompson and Gordon are the only former three-point contest winners in this year’s field, the group includes several noteworthy challengers. According to Bovada’s odds, Devin Booker (.383) and Paul George (.432) are the next most likely to take home the crown, followed by Southeast sharpshooters Wayne Ellington (.387) and Bradley Beal (.370).

Bovada gives the longest odds to Kyle Lowry (.389), who will be participating in the event for a third straight year, and to Tobias Harris (.402), a first-time participant.

Although Thompson, a former three-point champion who is currently the NBA’s leader in three-point percentage, looks like the best bet, the contest generally comes down to which players gets hot at the right time — and which one can sink his moneyballs.

What do you think? Who’s your pick for this year’s three-point contest winner?
