This edition of the NBA All-Star Game is the sixth time with the captaincy format. James had dominantly been selected as a captain each time and has never lost, taking a 5-0 clean record. Meanwhile, Giannis Antetokounmpo was selected as a captain for the third time, after earning it in 2019 and 2020 and lost both times at the hands of LeBron James.
Although the starters and reserves for each team are not yet official, as the two sides still have drafts to do at the day of the exhibition game. Here are the list of starters that the captains will be choosing from:
| EASTERN CONFERENCE STARTERS | WESTERN CONFERENCE STARTERS |
| Giannis Antetokounmpo (Captain) | LeBron James (Captain) |
| Kevin Durant | Nikola Jokic |
| Jayson Tatum | Zion Williamson |
| Donovan Mitchell | Stephen Curry |
| Kyrie Irving | Luka Doncic |
Looking at this table, given that LeBron James will be the first one to pick his player, it will be likely that he can build a relatively strong team to keep his winning streak in the new format of All-Star Game and beat Giannis for the fourth consecutive time.
Bold Prediction
Team LeBron will defeat Team Giannis by seven points, 157-150
Scoring Leader and All-Star MVP
Jayson Tatum (Team LeBron) 35 points
Team LeBron Predicted Starting Five: LeBron James (Captain), Kyrie Irving, Nikola Jokic, Jayson Tatum, Donovan Mitchell.
Team Giannis Predicted Starting Five: Giannis Antetokounmpo (Captain), Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler (replacement for Curry), Luka Doncic, Zion Williamson.
