With the exception of Jimmy Butler, with more than one participation in the Stars match, only Kyle Laurie (6) is in attendance. For Ben Simmons and Krill Middleton, this will be the second one, and the rest of the list will make their debut.
There is definitely more experience with the West's reserves. Russell Westbrook of Houston will make his ninth appearance, Damian Lillard of Portland Fifth, Chris Paul of Oklahoma - Tenth. Young Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Hobert (Utah) as well as Brandon Ingram (New Orleans) will be part of the big ones for the first time.
