The 28 All-Stars have been divided into three teams &#8212; two comprised of American players and the third representing the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Team USA Stars features primarily younger NBA stars like Tyrese Maxey and Cade Cunningham, while Team USA Stripes is more veteran players like LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Team World is headlined by Victor Wembnamyama, Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic, though this roster has taken some hits via injury with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander both out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The teams will all play either other in a round-robin format, with those games last 12 minutes. The top two teams will advance to the championship game to determine the overall winner. If there&#8217;s a tie after the round-robin portion, point differential will be the deciding factor.\u00a0See who to pick here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New users can check out the latest\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"link\"><strong>Kalshi bonus code<\/strong><\/span><strong> CBSSPORTS to\u00a0<\/strong><strong>get a $10 cash bonus after making $10 in trades<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<h2>How to make 2026 NBA All-Star Game picks<\/h2>\n<p>Now, Hartstein has analyzed the 2026 NBA All-Star Game from all angles.
