Ross, of the Toronto Raptors, comes in second with 7/2 odds and the Indiana Pacers' Green has 4/1 odds. Filling out the field is Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Bledsoe with 5/1 odds, and forwards Jeremy Evans and Kenneth Faried, who have the least-likely chance of winning the 2013 Slam Dunk Contest as 8/1 favorites.
The Utah Jazz's Evans is the reigning champion in the event.
All in all, the oddsmakers believe in the contest’s wings to have a good shot at winning, while the two least-skilled players in Faried and Evans have the least-likely chances of coming away with the title of best dunker.
