Last years game had 291 points (which would have even been over this amount), 2010 had 280 (Over the 262.5 Total for that season but Under if this years Total were used), and in 2009 the game went just Over the 263 Total with 265 points and a dunk at the end gave over the win. But if this years Total were used that game would be way Under.
I know there is no defense but that is a 15.5 point increase on last
years total of 268. In a season that started late (due to lockout) has
had a shortage of games in which 100+ are scored by either team in that
game (granted those aren't absolute defenseless like an All Star game)
why such a big increase? Does Vegas want Under to win because Under
hasn't won in a while (the entire time I've been on covers) or is this
years All Star game going to be the highest scoring one yet?

a lot of quick players in this years game. No tim duncan helps as he (for unexplained reasons) tries to play some defence during the game and really slows things down. I dont see any of these young players playing any d. Just going to be up and down the court all day long im going out on a limb here but i can see them getting to 300 this year.

did you see the game yesterday..the last 3 minutes a dunk contest broke out....the East coach Tom Tib is a defensivespecialist and must be cringing about asking his players to play some D...lol
Only D that might be played will be if the game is close at the 2 minute remaining mark. This is the highest total ever posted for ANY NBA game i do believe? Vegas knows that no matter how high they post the number they will get over bets. It will be interesting to see which way that number moves tomorrow and it will...most all star games the total will love 2-3 points the day of the game and i think it will move DOWN this year to around 280 by game time..id be shocked if ti moved up anymore from 284 that it is now.
