From a betting stand point, picking a winner in this competition is about picking the best team with the most well rounded players and for this one, I am going with the favorite, Team Jazz.
First off, these guys play together on the same team and already have chemistry with each other.
They are also competing in their home gym, which is an aded bonus.
For the nice value and the team with the most well-rounded player composition, give me team Jazz to win the skills competition!
Best Bet
Team Jazz (-120)
