A popular online sportsbook gives Boston Celtics third-year All-Star forward Jayson Tatum the fourth-best odds to win the NBA Taco Bell All-Star Skills Challenge.
The event features center Bam Adebayo of the Miami Heat, guard Patrick Beverley of the Los Angeles Clippers, guard Spencer Dinwiddie of the Brooklyn Nets, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Khris Middleton of the Milwaukee Bucks, Domantas Sabonis of the Indiana Pacers and Pascal Siakam of the Toronto Raptors.
Derrick Rose of the Detroit Pistons was planning to participate in the Skills Challenge as well, but withdrew after getting injured with an adductor strain.

BetMGM online sportsbook gives Tatum the fourth-best odds to repeat as Skills Challenge champ, behind only Dinwiddie, Middleton and Gilgeous-Alexander.
The Duke product won the 2019 Taco Bell Skills challenge, and Tatum will retire from the event should he repeat as victor this year, reports the Boston Globe’s Chad Finn.
For those with interest in seeing the event, it will be broadcast on TNT and ESPN Radio in the United States at 8 p.m. ET.
