Hello Grinders, welcome to the All-Star Break. This is a good time to spend time with family play the Rising Stars and All-Star Game Showdown slates and continue your degen status.

Rising Stars Game

Background

The Rising Stars Game features Team USA versus Team World. This game opened with a 296.5 total and the USA as two-point favorites. In other words, don’t expect any defense. Last year’s game finished Team World 155, Team USA 124, so there were 279 points scored there.

Unlike a regulation game that has 48 minutes over four quarters, the Rising Stars Game is 40 minutes long and features two halves. Additionally, each team consists of 10 players. This means each team has 200 minutes to divide up.
