The 2012 NBA Three-Point Contest has more star power than the usually marquee Slam Dunk Contest with two household names in Kevin Durant – who replaced Joe Johnson because of injury – and Kevin Love. Durant is the favorite, despite defending champ, James Jones, back to defend his title.

Participants: Anthony Morrow of the New Jersey Nets, James Jones of the Miami Heat, Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Kevin Love of the T'Wolves, Mario Chalmers of the Miami Heat and Ryan Anderson of the Orlando Magic.
Betting Odds: (via Sportsbook.com) Kevin Durant +225, Ryan Anderson +275, James Jones +350, Anthony Morrow +400, Mario Chalmers +400, Kevin Love +700
