NBA Castrol Rising Stars Predictions For Today: Team Hardaway, Richmond, Mullin & G-League

Before we can make any NBA Rising Stars predictions, we need to know how the format is even going to work. For the first time, the winner of the Rising Stars event will earn a spot as one of the four teams for the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday.

Both of which are more accurately labeled as tournaments, as they aren’t singular games. As for NBA Rising Stars predictions, the four teams - Hardaway, Richmond, Mullin and G-League, will compete against each other tonight in games played to 25. The winner of the two games will play in a championship game, which will be played to 40.

We’ll share the NBA Rising Stars odds for the individual games after going through the best bet from our NBA Rising Stars picks, but you can also see the odds for the outright winners below:

  • Team Richmond: +135
  • Team Hardaway: +310
  • Team Mullin: +310
  • Team G-League: +450

 

 

 

Castrol Rising Stars Picks & Best Bets For 2025 Including Team Mullin

We’re getting plus-money odds for any of the teams, but as for the best bet from our NBA Rising Stars predictions, we’re going to be taking the +310 odds for Team Mullin to earn their spot to play on Sunday.

After sorting through the NBA Rising Stars rosters, we’re backing the squad led by Chris Mullin. Based on the format that we have, surging out to a quick lead with three-pointers to get to the 25 threshold is paramount, and we just don’t see that type of long-range shooting from Team Richmond.

They have the shortest odds given that they roster the Thompson twins (Amen and Ausar), but we love the makeup of Team Mullin. We don’t see anyone else that is going to want to bang with a 7-foot-4 Zach Edey down low, and Dalton Knecht should be as motivated as ever to prove himself to the Los Angeles Lakers after that whole trade deadline drama.

Along with Stephon Castle - who is also a Dunk Contest participant - we love Team Mullin (+310 at DraftKings Sportsbook) as the best bet from our NBA Rising Stars predictions.
