How to vote for your favourite players?
Fan votes combined with votes from current players and media members determine the starters for the NBA All-Star 2020 game. Every ballot has two guards and three frontcourt players from each conference. NBA head coaches choose the reserves and league commissioner Adam Silver chooses injury replacements if needed. The All-Star captains then decided their teams from the list of chosen players. Starters are selected during Round 1 and reserves are chosen during Round 2. Captains will be the players who receive maximum fan votes in each conference. Fans can cast their vote through the NBA official site or app.
