One of the most popular All-Star events in sports returns to center stage on Saturday night with the 2024 NBA Slam Dunk Contest in Indianapolis. Defending champion Mac McClung will try to defend his title following an impressive showing last year, but he will have to overcome Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown, Miami's Jaime Jaquez Jr. and New York's Jacob Toppin, who round out the four-participant field. 

Saturday's events begin at 8 p.m. ET at Lucas Oil Stadium, with the Slam Dunk contest slated as the final event of the evening. McClung is the -240 favorite (risk $240 to win $200) in the latest NBA Slam Dunk 2024 odds, while Brown is +470. Toppin is +700 and Jaquez Jr. is the biggest longshot at +800.
