NBA All-Star Predictions Week 3: Lots of interesting faces

NBA All-Star Predictions: Week 3 power rankings – Eastern Conference

G – Bradley Beal

The Wizards have been one of the biggest surprises of the season, and while Bradley Beal has been cold at times, he’s still their best player. He should be an All-Star lock if they keep up this pace.

G – James Harden

The Nets have turned things around and so has James Harden. He’s one of the best guards in the league and is an obvious choice for the All-Star game year in and year out.

G – Tyler Herro

Tyler Herro is an early candidate for Sixth Man of the Year, but he’s playing well enough to earn an All-Star nod. The Heat have been spectacular, and he’s a big part of that.

G – Zach LaVine

Zach LaVine is playing for a new contract right now and boy is he earning the big bucks. He has helped lead the Bulls to a solid start and what will likely be their first playoff appearance in years.

F – Bam Adebayo

Bam Adebayo is a defensive monster who has anchored Miami’s defense so far this season. He’s putting up career-high numbers and is a clear choice for the All-Star game.

F – Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Bucks have been struggling, but Giannis Antetokounmpo is too good to leave out of the All-Star game. He’ll get voted in based on popularity, but he deserves to be there, anyways.

F – Jimmy Butler

Jimmy Butler would be the Heat’s third All-Star, and they definitely deserve it. They are one of the top teams in the NBA, and Butler will not only be an All-Star but an MVP candidate as well.

F – DeMar DeRozan

Just when people thought DeMar DeRozan’s prime was over, he goes on to have one of the best years of his career. He and LaVine are leading the Bulls in tandem, and they both deserve to be on the All-Star team.

F – Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant is having one of the best seasons in the league that no one seems to be talking about. The Nets have turned things around and he is showing why he’s one of the greatest players of all time.

F – Joel Embiid

The 76ers are the hottest team in basketball right now and Joel Embiid is their leader. His dominance cannot be understated, and an All-Star appearance is all but inevitable.

F – Tobias Harris

With Ben Simmons out, Tobias Harris is finally getting his chance to shine. His great play should easily be enough to get him into the first All-Star game of his career.

F – Julius Randle

The Knicks have cooled off a bit, but Julius Randle still looks great. He is their leader, and as long as they are a playoff team, he’ll be a shoo-in for the All-Star game this year.

Just missed the cut: Jarrett Allen, OG Anunoby, LaMelo Ball, RJ Barrett, Jaylen Brown, Miles Bridges, Darius Garland, Montrezl Harrell, Jayson Tatum, Fred VanVleet, Trae Young
