This year, players get two bonus 'Dew Zone' shots from beyond the 3-point line, worth three points each.
The three highest scores move onto the championship round, where the winner is crowned. Players have 70 seconds to shoot as many balls as they can. One of the racks features 'money balls' worth two points. The format is simple: five racks, each with five balls, are scattered around the court. Most of the greatest basketball players, from Larry Bird to Michael Jordan, have entered the 3-point competition. Here's a quick preview of the All-Star Saturday Night schedule, which gets underway at 8pm ET / 1am GMT: The Slam Dunk contest tend to take the headline spot on All-Star Saturday, but the 3-point contest is arguably just as exciting. US streams: TNT | Sling (3-day free trial) | Fubo (7-day free trial) Start time: 8pm ET / 1am GMT (Sun) / 11am AEST (Sun)
