The NBA's 2018 All-Star Weekend kicks off with Saturday night's three-point shooting contest, which features a stacked lineup of stars from around the league. But the numbers indicate the favorite might be Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson.

Thompson won the event in 2016, but he had his crown stolen by Eric Gordon of the Houston Rockets last year in New Orleans.

Thompson, Gordon and six other contenders will square off in the event at 8 p.m. ET on TNT.
