NBA Star Sunday is almost here, and the calendar of events is packed. Due to the COVID-19, an entire weekend of festivities condensed into a night full of stars.
It all starts with the skill challenge and the 3-point contest at 6:30 pm ET, followed by the start of the 70th NBA All-Star Game at 8 pm ET. The dump contest will take place at half time before the coronation of Team LeBron Vs. Team Durant.
Will Lebron James continue his undefeated streak as captain of the All-Star Game? Will Stephen Curry win his second triple contest title? What young flier will rise to the crown of the dump contest?
Our NBA expert group chooses the winners of the entire action.
