Game Preview
For the fifth straight year, the NBA All-Star Game will be played under the draft format, in which the leading vote-getters from each conference are selected as captains to pick their respective teams from the pool of All-Stars. And as a captain for the fifth straight year, LeBron James is looking for his fifth straight win, as he prepares to face a team selected by Kevin Durant -- although Durant, himself, won't play due to injury.
On paper, Team LeBron certainly has the edge and enters Sunday's exhibition as a 5.5-point favorite. As Team LeBron will also likely have the home crowd on its side, with Cleveland Cavaliers Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen -- as well as James himself -- representing Northeast Ohio.
