2024 NBA All-Star Game
Western Conference v Eastern Conference
Gainbridge Fieldhouse
Indianapolis, Indiana
Monday 19 February 2024
Tip-off at 03:30
The Eastern Conference All-Stars will attempt to snap a three-game losing streak against the Western Conference All-Stars when they face off at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on the morning of Monday, February 19.
The
NBA All-Star Game returns to its previous format of West versus East this year after changing to a draft system from 2018 to 2023, which saw the two highest-voted players from each Conference acting as captains.
The East last came out on top in 2014 when they defeated the West 163-155 and they'll be looking to Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was selected as an All-Star for the eighth time.
Antetokounmpo was voted as one of the five starters for Doc Rivers' team alongside Bucks team-mate Damian Lillard, Tyrese Haliburton (Indiana Pacers), Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics) and Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks).

The Buck power forward will line up against two-time former NBA MVP Nikola Jokic just five days after they went head to head in a regular-season game as Milwaukee ran out 112-95 victors over Denver Nuggets.
Antetokounmpo explained why players like him and Jokic get scratches in games, saying: "I feel like guys like him... it's hard to guard them. And sometimes you do anything you can do to stop them and sometimes you scratch them.
"Sometimes people try to stop you they're gonna do whatever they can and sometimes they're going to scratch you. People that go to the free-throw line a lot get scratched a lot."
