While Antetokounmpo and Jokic lead the Eastern and Western Conference frontcourts in votes, it is LaMelo Ball and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who continue to lead these respective conferences in back-to-back voting.

The most significant changes from the second homecoming to the third homecoming revolve around the Cleveland Cavaliers. Darius Garland leapfrogged Jordan Poole and Tyler Hero to take eighth for East backcourt players, and Jarrett Allen moved into the top 10 for East frontcourt players. Evan Mobley also moved from eighth to sixth in East frontcourt voting.

In the West, LeBron James (2.59 million votes) jumped Kevin Durant (2.49 million votes) into second place behind Jokic.

If the fans were to dictate who would start in the NBA All-Star Game, it would be Giannis, Ball, Tatum, Karl-Anthony Towns and Donovan Mitchell representing the East. In the West, the starters would be Jokic, Gilgeous-Alexander, Curry, James and Durant.

This year, the NBA changed the format of the All-Star Game from the traditional Western Conference format to the Eastern Conference. Instead, the players will be divided into three different teams in a tournament-style format where the fourth team at the event will be the winners of the Rising Stars Challenge. Players and fans alike have given mixed reviews to the new format, which the NBA is experimenting with to try to bring back a level of competitiveness to All-Star weekend.

Voting for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game will end on Monday, January 20th at 11:59 PM ET. The 2025 NBA All-Star Game starters will be announced during TNT’s NBA coverage on Thursday, January 23.
