Who will start in 2020 NBA All-Star Game? Here are our picks

Who will start in the 2020 NBA All-Star Game in Chicago on Feb. 16? The answers will be delivered tonight on TNT.

We think we have a good handle on who the starters will be, especially in the Western Conference. There are a few more questions in the East.

Will Toronto’s Pascal Siakam be a starter in his first All-Star appearance? Or will Miami’s Jimmy Butler get the nod? Or will it be Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid who is left out in the frontcourt?

In the East backcourt, it looks like the final spot will come down to either Atlanta’s Trae Young or Philadelphia’s Ben Simmons.

In the West, the only spot that seems in question is the final frontcourt spot after the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard has the inside track, but Denver’s Nikola Jokic or Utah’s Rudy Gobert could sneak in as a starter.

Fans account for 50% of the vote, players 25% and media 25%.
