Jayson Tatum
The Boston Celtics Forward is currently experiencing one-heck of a season as he is leading the Boston Celtics to a 32-12 record, top in the Eastern Conference, and current best record in the NBA. Jayson Tatum is now averaging 30.6 points, eight rebounds, and four assists a game. He is poised to make fifth straight All-Star game appearance and will likely dominate this annual exhibition game and win his first All-Star MVP. Through his five year career so far in the NBA, he led the Boston Celtics to series of deep playoffs runs, including the 2018 where they met LeBron James and the Cavs, in 2020 East finals where they faces Miami Heat and Jimmy Butler, last season, he lead Boston Celtics to first finals in 12 years but fell short from the hands of the eventual Champion Golden State Warriors.
Luka Doncic

Giannis Antetokounmpo
The Greek Freak is continuing his winning ways for the Milwaukee Bucks, after leading this team to a 2021 NBA Champion.

If remain consistent, there will be a huge chance that he will win an NBA All-Star MVP behind LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, and Luka Doncic.
Nikola Jokic
The Two-time NBA MVP and the leader for 2022-2023 NBA MVP is poised to make his All-Star a memorable one for the year 2023. He is currently averaging 24.9 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 9.7 assists per game. Flirting with triple-double numbers while leading the Denver Nuggets to top the very competitive Western Conference with a 29-13 record on a five-game winning streak.
