We’re past the halfway point of the 2022-23 NBA season, which means All-Star Weekend is coming soon.
Ahead of this year’s festivities, the “NBA on TNT” crew will reveal the starters and reserves from each conference. Once the pool of players is finalized, two All-Star captains will select their teams right before the All-Star Game begins.
Which players will make the cut? And which ones will receive the unfortunate “snub” label?
Check out the full All-Star breakdown below.

How does the NBA All-Star voting process work?
The fan vote accounts for 50 percent of the total vote to determine the starters for the NBA All-Star Game. Current players and media members split the other 50 percent. Each ballot consists of two guards and three frontcourt players from each conference. Reserves are chosen by NBA head coaches, and league commissioner Adam Silver chooses injury replacements if necessary.
All-Star captains will then draft their teams from the eligible pool of players (starters in first round, reserves in second round). Captains will be selected based on which players earn the most fan votes in each conference. They are not required to draft based on conference affiliation or position.
