Klay Thompson is the odds-on favorite and will be competing in the contest for the third year in a row. Last year he didn't fair well though.

He had 18 points in the first round, but that wasn't enough to advance to the finals. In 2016, though, he won the contest beating out teammate Steph Curry in the final round.
Thompson is having another huge year, especially from behind the arc. He is averaging 20.8 points and 3.2 made three-pointers a game.
He is shooting 45.5 percent from downtown, which is 0.2 percent behind Joe Ingles who is taking two fewer three-pointers a game.
Another name to watch in this field is Eric Gordon who will be looking to defend his title. He had a 25 point final round last year to beat out Kyrie Irving and win the championship.
Gordon is making three shots from deep a night, but he is shooting a low percentage this year. Coming into this contest, he is only shooting 33.4 percent three-point range.
