@ChrisFedor
NBA Matchup data can definitely be funky. But according to that, #Cavs Isaac Okoro held Memphis All-Star Ja Morant to 6 points on 2 of 9 from the field. So add Morant to the list along with Jalen Brunson, Jrue Holiday, Damian Lillard, Trae Young that Okoro has stifled. – 1:20 PM

No surprise Julius Randle got tabbed All-Star over Jalen Brunson. Even last season, opposing coaches always cited Randle in pregame as top of defensive game plan. And this is voted by coaches and they aren’t tabbing 2 Knicks with their record. – 10:34 AM

Here’s how the advanced metrics stack up for the NBA Eastern Conference All-Stars
Looks like Jimmy Butler and James Harden were the biggest snubs. I’d have personally had both on my team (Randle’s been on 🔥 recently, but started off slow)

Bam – who makes his second All Star game – ranks 4th among all NBA centers in scoring, 8th in rebounding, 6th in assists and is one of league’s best defenders. Obviously deserving… Jimmy Butler had a very strong case for his 7th All Star bid but doesn’t get the nod this year. – 7:20 PM
