Damian Lillard will look to win his third NBA 3-Point Contest in a row when he returns to his Bay Area roots at Chase Center in San Francisco on Saturday. The event is the second on All-Star Saturday, which begins at 8 p.m. ET. Lillard, an Oakland native, won the first of two consecutive 3-point titles as a member of the Portland Trail Blazers in 2023. He won last year's event as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks and is a key component to the Eastern Conference contenders looking to earn a championship for the first time since 2021. Lillard, a 38.2% 3-point shooter this season, looks to join Larry Bird and Craig Hodges as the only players to win the event three times in a row.
Lillard is the +250 favorite (risk $100 to win $250) in the latest 2025 NBA 3-Point Contest odds. Tyler Herro (+500), Norman Powell (+500) and Buddy Hield (+550) are next on the odds boards. Darius Garland (+750), Cam Johnson (+800), Jalen Brunson (+900) and Cade Cunningham (+1400) round out the 2025 NBA 3-Point Contest field.
