How to Watch Jamal Murray in the NBA Three-Point Contest

In this story:
The Denver Nuggets have not had a player compete in the NBA Three-Point Contest since Chauncey Billups finished third at the 2010 All-Star weekend in Dallas. Now, 16 years later in Los Angeles, Jamal Murray is gearing up to compete against the league's top sharpshooters.
Only one player in Nuggets' franchise history has actually won the contest, which was Voshon Lenard in 2004, but can Murray become the next Denver star to claim the title? This season, Murray is shooting 42.5% from three-point range on 7.4 attempts per game, cementing himself as one of the league's top threats from beyond the arc.
When and how to watch Murray in the Three-Point Contest
NBA All-Star weekend kicked off on Friday night with the Rising Stars tournament that featured some of the league's top young talent, and now fans are undoubtedly ready to see what Saturday night has in store.
