All Star Game Prognosis – The Key Points
- Kevin Durant , captain of the team in the East should miss the final, the fault is a knee injury, an unfortunate absence for the team.
- The replacements are not yet known , and should greatly influence the game, as every year.
- The big surprise in the starting 5 is the presence of Andrew Wiggins in the West. The absence of the titular group of James Harden is, too, to be notified to the East.
All Star Game Prognosis - Conclusion
Before starting the analysis, here are the five players selected in the West :
| Name | Franchise | Nationalitý | Number of Participations in the All Star Games |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Bron James (CAPTAIN) | Los Angeles Lakers | American | 18 (from 2005 to 2023) |
| Nikola Jokic | Denver Nuggets | Serbian | 4 (from 2019 to 2023) |
| Andrew Wiggins | Golden State Warriors | Canadian | First participation in 2023 |
| Stephen Curry | Golden State Warriors | American | 8 (from 2014 to 2023 except in 2020) |
| JA Morant | Memphis Grizzlies | American | First participation in 2023 |
And here is the 5 major of the Eastern team :
| Name | Franchise | Nationalitý | Number of participations in the All Star Games |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kevin Durant (CAPTAIN) | Brooklyn Nets | American | 12 (from 2010 to 2023 except in 2020) |
| Giannis Antetokounmpo | Milwaukee Bucks | Greek | 6 (from 2017 to 2023) |
| Joel Embiid | Philadelphia 76ers | Cameroonian | 5 (from 2018 to 2023) |
| Demar De Rozan | Chicago Bulls | American | 5 (2014 / 2016 / 2017 / 2018 / 2023) |
| Trae Young | Atlanta Hawks | American | 2 (2020 and 2023) |
In the West, the 5 major is of very high quality, especially a trio in particular : Jokic - James - Curry . The passing game and the game vision of one, the charisma and agility of the other, as well as the shooting ability of the 3rd make Team LeBron almost unbeatable.
The weak point of this formation is the winger. The Warriors player is not particularly successful this year, and his first appearance in the team is really a surprise. The last name is that of JA Morant , the young 22-year-old fullback, who confirms for his 3rd professional season in Memphis, with an average of 26.3 points per game this year.
But the other big highlight of the LeBron Team is its bench. Even if the selection of replacements is not yet known, very big names should be present, such as the genius of Dallas Luka Doncic, the best defender Rudy Gobert from Utah, the excellent Devin Booker and the veteran Chris Paul, both from Phoenix, and many others, with jumble Bojan Bogdanovic, Russell WestBrook, Anthony Davis, C.J McCollum, Jonas Valanciunas, etc.
In the East, a big black dot comes to extinguish almost all their hopes, the uncertainty of the presence of their captain Kevin Durant . Injured against the Nuggets at the end of January, he should unfortunately be absent from the All Star Games, and this absence would be very detrimental for his one-night teammates.
Another player should therefore take the lead, and not least, since it should be the double MVP, captain last year : Giannis Antetokounmpo . The Greek has everything from the complete player and should be able to hold this ephemeral team in place. Contender for the title of the best player of the season this year, the Cameroonian from Philadelphia, Joel Embiid should not disappoint.
Leader of the conference, Chicago already thanks Demar DeRozan also present in the team in the East. The new Bull has an average of 26.5 points this season, a performance just a little below the master to Atlanta player, Trae Young . The young American fullback is the centerpiece of the Hawks, and his absences due to injury have had a real impact on the Reds' season.
The match therefore promises to be tight, even if the tension is rarely put on "friendly" matches such as the All Star Games, where the show is stronger than anything. The Betting team in Canada still sees the West win this confrontation, well helped by its extraordinary trio Nikola Jokic - LeBron James - Stephen Curry .
