Western Conference All-Stars: Starters
LeBron James (Captain)
Not much to say here, he will be making his 17th All-`Star Appearance. He has been averaging 25.8 PPG, 8.2 REB, and 8.1 AST. He has four league MVPs and three All-Star MVP. Plus, he might win another MVP in his age 36 season.
Stephen Curry
The seven-time All-Star, two-time Kia NBA MVP, and the three-time champion has been averaging 30.2 PPG. It is good to see him healthy after an injury-plagued season. Without Klay Thompson, the Golden State Warriors have been relying on Curry to do much of the scoring as the team is hanging on to the 8th seed.
Luka Doncic
He is going to be a two-time All-Star, was a member of the 2020 All-NBA First Team, and won the 2019 Kia Rookie of the Year Award. He is averaging 28.9 PPG, 8.6 REB, and 9.2 AST, and beat out Damian Lillard for the starting position due to his strong fanbase. The Mavericks need him to continue his dominance because they are currently just outside of a playoff spot.
Nikola Jokic
Another player nearly averaging a triple-double, the soon-to-be three-time All-Star made a 2020 All-NBA Second Team selection. He is averaging 27.0 PPG, 10.9 REB, and 8.4 AST. Due to the recent injuries, the Denver Nuggets have been dealing with, his usage rate has gone up quite a bit.
Kawhi Leonard

Western Conference All-Stars: Reserves

However, Davis will most likely not play due to a calf strain. Maybe Devin Booker or Mike Conley replaces Davis, we shall see.
Paul George
The seven-time AllStar is returning the favor for the Los Angeles Clippers for giving him that lucrative extension worth 190 million dollars over 5 years.
