NBA All-Star Weekend is underway, as Friday night's Rising Stars Challenge and celebrity game kicked off the festivities in Cleveland.
But which stars will take home the hardware during All-Star Saturday?
The night begins with a revamped skills challenge, as three teams of three -- Team Cavs, Team Antetokounmpo and Team Rooks -- face off. Then, four All-Stars -- Zach LaVine, Karl-Anthony Towns, Fred VanVleet and Trae Young -- headline an eight-player field for the 3-point contest. The night wraps up with a four-player dunk contest, as electrifying rookie Jalen Green and 2021 runner-up Obi Toppin take the stage.
On Sunday, will Team LeBron capture another All-Star Game win? LeBron James has hit all four of his previous All-Star captains' drafts -- will he make it five? Either way, with Cleveland Cavaliers star Darius Garland on LeBron's roster, the two should have plenty of fun putting on a show for the fans inside Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
Our NBA experts are picking the winners for Saturday and Sunday's action, including which player will take home the NBA All-Star Game Kobe Bryant MVP Award.
