NBA All-Star Saturday 2018: Three-Point Contest Results for Bradley Beal

NBA All-Star Saturday night 2018 marks Washington Wizards All-Star Bradley Beal’s second time participating in the NBA 3-point contest.

Washington Wizards All-Star Bradley Beal doesn’t have his mind just set on his first NBA All-Star game during All-Star weekend, but also his second three-point contest. Beal was the 2014 three-point contest runner-up to Marco Bellinelli.

Beal admitted before the contest on TNT NBA tip-off show that he’ll pick the fourth rack as the money ball rack as he states his love for hitting 3-point shots from the wing.

Beal went up against reigning three-point champion Eric Gordon The 2018 NBA 3-Point Contest and the heavy favorite going into the contest Klay Thompson from the Golden State Warriors. The other participants included Devin Booker, Wayne Ellington, Paul George, Tobias Harris and Kyle Lowry.

As you can tell, the players are rocking their NBA Nike City Edition uniform at NBA All-Star Saturday night in Los Angeles.

The three-point contest picks included OddsShark.com predicting Gordon to win his second straight three-point shooting title with odds at +450.
