SATURDAY

State Farm All-Star Saturday Night - 8:30 p.m. ET on TNT

Degree Shooting Stars:  Hawks legend and Vice President of Basketball Dominique Wilkins will once again team with the WNBA's Swin Cash and Miami Heat's Chris Bosh to attempt to win the event for a third straight year. Friday, Paul Millsap entered the contest as well, as he will team up with Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen and WNBA star Elena Delle Donne and attempt to slow down the Wilkins-Bosh-Cash juggernaut. Click here to see the full participants and rules.

Taco Bell Skills Challenge:  Hawks All-Star point guard Jeff Teague will compete in the Skills Challenge for the second time in three years.  This year's format is an 8-man bracket, and Teague will face Orlando's Elfrid Payton in the first round. Dennis Schröder will also make his debut in the competition, drawing Toronto's Kyle Lowry on the opposite side of the bracket.  Click here for a list of participants and rules.

Foot Locker Three-Point Contest:  In what could be the most loaded three-point field ever, Hawks sharpshooter will look to prove that he's as good as his potentially record-breaking 2014-15 season is shaping up to be.  Korver will compete against the likes of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Wesley Matthews and more.  Click here to see a list of participants and rules.

SUNDAY
