Players are ranked in each conference by position, and the top two guards and top three frontcourt players with the best-weighted scores will be named starters. Fan votes act as the tiebreaker.
The race is far from over, and with more 3-for-1 Days coming up, fans have the power to shape the All-Star Game rosters. Who will make the cut? Stay tuned for the next update and make sure to cast your votes!
