NBA All-Star Weekend is coming up and New Yorkers will have to cross state lines to wager on the 3-point contest that’s a big part of All-Star Saturday night.<\/p>\n

New York’s gambling laws prohibit wagering on anything decided by human voters, which means Empire State residents who want to wager on the slam dunk contest will have to cross state lines in order to make their bets. The dunk contest is decided by a pane of judges, this year consisting of Jamal Crawford, Lisa Leslie, Karl Malone, Dominique Wilkins, and Harold Miner, and it seems safe to say that none of them can be bought.<\/p>\n

The 3-point shootout, on the other hand. That’s decided by one thing: who makes the most shots. Lines in that contest have been posted by FanDuel ahead of all the other sportsbooks. The favorite is Indiana’s Buddy Hield, who leads the NBA in 3-pointers made with 224. He is +460.<\/p>\n
