The NBA has already defined the two teams for the All-Star Game, which will be played next Sunday, February 20, at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland. And for the fifth consecutive year, the classic East against West will not be played, but rather, through the two captains who were the two most voted players in each conference, LeBron James and Kevin Durant, they have chosen their teams one by one.
The King James, the only captain who survived the last five editions of the All-Star Game, and finished with an excellent percentage in the votes, fans (50%), journalists (25%), and players (25%) and will serve as the captain of the West and the NBA with more than 9 million votes.
Durant will not be able to be in the All-Star Game due to the injury suffered on January 16, which left him off the courts for 4-6 weeks, but he still chose the members of the Team Durant team that will face Team LeBron.
This great game that we all expect and that delights us with different previous competitions will be played on Sunday, February 20, 2022, in Cleveland.

Why Bet on Team LeBron
LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers) chose as starters for his team:
- Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks)
- Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)
- DeMar DeRozan (Chicago Bulls)
- Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets).
As well as he also chose the following players as substitutes:
- Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks)
- Jimmy Butler (Miami Heat)
- Darius Garland (Cleveland Cavaliers)
- James Harden (Philadelphia 76ers)
- Donovan Mitchell (Utah Jazz)
- Chris Paul (Phoenix Suns)
- Fred VanVleet (Toronto Raptors)
Without a doubt, this team is full of stars who are playing at their highest competitive level. We know that the All-Star Game is to bring emotions to the fans, but, we all look forward to the competitiveness of the last period, where the players play more seriously.
Why Bet on Team Durant
While KD, due to his sprain, must be off the court for 4-6 weeks and had to choose the 5 starters for this match:
- Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers)
- Ja Morant (Memphis Grizzlies)
- Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics)
- Andrew Wiggins (Golden State Warriors)
- Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks)
While the substitutes will be:
- LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets)
- Devin Booker (Phoenix Suns)
- Rudy Gobert (Utah Jazz)
- Zach LaVine (Chicago Bulls)
- Khris Middleton (Milwaukee Bucks)
- Dejounte Murray (San Antonio Spurs)
- Karl-Anthony Towns (Minnesota Timberwolves)
Another team that also has excellent players, but Durant closed the selection with a controversial decision since he decided not to select James Harden for his team in the last selection. Rumor has if it’s due to Harden’s recent trade to the Sixers.
Final Betting Analysis: Team LeBron vs. Team Durant
Again, due to an injury, we will not be able to enjoy Kevin Durant in an All-Star Game, but, in the same way, we will have a game full of many stars that we know will give us an incredible show.
At MyBookie.ag we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors the Team LeBron at -244, while the Team Durant starts as at +170.
Although both teams are full of stars, we believe that LeBron managed to consolidate a more compact team and, in addition to this, the absence of Durant is fundamental, therefore, Team LeBron must take the victory in this All-Star Game 2022.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline for Team LeBron. If you put $100 on Team LeBron at -244 you’ll be looking at a $40.98 win with a total payout of $140.98.
