The contest should start sometime around 8:30 or 8:45 p.m.

Preview.
Experience is often important in these contests, so the two favorites have to be the two former champions, Klay Thompson and Eric Gordon.
Thompson, who will be competing for the fourth time, took the title from teammate Steph Curry in Toronto in 2016 with an absurd final score of 27, while Gordon won it in his debut last year.
Despite Gordon's win last year, though, Thompson has to be considered the favorite.
He's first in the NBA in three-point percentage among players who have attempted at least 30 per game, he shoots a silly 46.5 percent on catch-and-shoot threes, he'll be in his hometown, and Gordon is shooting just 33.4 percent on threes, which is his worst mark since 2012-13.
For what it's worth, both will be attempting to be the first two-time champion since Jason Kapono did it 10 years ago.
Another who belongs among the favorites is Bradley Beal.
His three-point accuracy is down a bit this year, but he's the owner of one of the prettiest shots in the NBA, and he advanced to the championship round in his only other three-point contest appearance in 2014.
If you're purely looking at numbers this season, Paul George grades out just about as well as Thompson.
In the midst of the best shooting season of his career, he's third in the NBA in threes made per game (3.3) behind only Curry and James Harden, and his 43.2 percent success rate from deep is eighth among players with at least three attempts per game.
He and Tobias Harris will both be looking to become the first forward to win since Kevin Love did it in 2012.
Devin Booker and Wayne Ellington are intriguing sleepers (sleepers according to the odds, at least).
Booker may be dealing with some rust after missing four games with a hip injury (he returned Wednesday but didn't look quite 100 percent), but he's an effortless shooter, and don't forget he finished third behind the Curry and Thompson Show in 2016.
As for Ellington, he's second in the NBA behind only James Harden with nine games of at least six threes made, so he's capable of getting hot in a hurry.
