The NBA All-Star Game
Set for February 18, 2018, this game is the crowning jewel of a festive weekend celebrating the best players in the NBA. This game used to pit the All-Stars from the Eastern Conference against the All-Stars from the Western Conference, but now it features teams picked by captains. This year, fan voting made Stephen Curry and LeBron James the captains, and the starters from fan voting were Kyrie Irving, DeMar DeRozan, LeBron James, Joel Embiid, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins. Cousins is out due to an Achilles tendon rupture, though, so Paul George has taken his spot. This game rarely features much in the way of defense, so look for the “over” on this game and pick the team that you think will have the best shot. Here are the rosters, with injury replacements in parentheses.Team LeBron
- Kevin Durant
- Anthony Davis
- LeBron James
- DeMarcus Cousins (Paul George)
- Kyrie Irving
- Bradley Beal
- LaMarcus Aldridge

- John Wall (Andre Drummond)
- Coach: Dwane Casey
Team Stephen
- James Harden
- DeMar Rozan
- Stephen Curry
- Giannis Antetokounmpo
- Joel Embiid
- Damian Lillard
- Jimmy Butler
- Draymond Green
- Kyle Lowry
- Klay Thompson
- Karl-Anthony Towns
- Al Horford
- Coach: Mike D’Antoni
