Yi has averaged 9.8 points and 5.8 rebounds in 46 games for the Bucks this season after being selected fifth in last year’s NBA Draft.  Other players of international interest to gamblers that look at NBA All Star betting are Houston forward Luis Scola of Argentina, Memphis guard Juan Carlos Navarro of Spain and Atlanta forward Al Horford of the Dominican Republic.  Others on the rookie squad include Seattle’s Kevin Durant and Jeff Green, Memphis guard Mike Conley, New Jersey center Sean Williams and Toronto swingman Jamario Moon.

The Rookie Challenge matches up the newcomers against the sophomores in an event that has occurred the past eight years in advance of the NBA All Star.  The rookies won the inaugural game and most recently in 2002 before the NBA All Star game.  Italy’s Andrea Bargnani, the Toronto Raptors forward is one of the players that will be tough to stop.  Other NBA sophomores include Utah’s Paul Millsap and Ron Brewer, Rudy Gay of Memphis, Portland’s Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge, Boston’s Rajon Rondo, Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Farmar and Cleveland’s Daniel Gibson.

NBA All Star betting odds will show the sophomores favored in the Rookie Challenge, especially with players like Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge in the lineup.  Roy will actually be playing in two games as he also made the NBA All Star roster as a reserve.

NBA All Star game betting odds have the Western Conference as a small favorite in the game with a total in the 250’s.  The 2008 NBA All Star takes place February 17th from New Orleans, Louisiana.  Take a look at the betting options for the NBA All Star game today.
