The sharpshooters have made their way to Salt Lake City.
This year’s 3-Point Contest field includes some of the biggest names in the NBA. There are four All-Stars participating in the event, including All-NBA First Team forward Jayson Tatum.
But it’s very possible that someone who hasn’t reached All-Star status will walk away with the trophy. Snipers like Buddy Hield and Kevin Huerter should not be taken lightly, as they are fully capable of lighting up the scoreboard.
Here is everything you need to know about the 2023 3-Point Contest, including TV and streaming options for All-Star Weekend.

3-Point Contest participants, format
The eight 3-Point Contest participants will shoot at the typical five locations along the arc with four racks of four regular balls (one point) and one money ball (two points), plus one special rack of five money balls. Players can choose their favorite spots for the money ball racks.
Two “Starry Range” spots will sit well beyond the 3-point line. Each spot holds one white ball worth three points.
The contest is separated into two rounds with the three highest-scoring players from the first round advancing to the final round. The player with the highest score in the final round will be crowned the winner.
