The All-Star Saturday will begin with the Shooting Stars Contest, with Tim Hardaway Jr. (New York Knicks), his father Tim Hardaway Sr. (Legend) and Elena Delle Donne of the Chicago Sky making up the first team of the Easter Conference.
The second team will have Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat, legend Dominiqie Wilkins and Swin Cash of the Chicago Sky.
The Western Conference will be filled with captain Curry, legend Dell Currry and Beck Hammon of the San Antonio Stars in team one, while Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant, Utah Jazz legend Karl Malone and Sylar Diggins (Tulsa Shock) will take court as team two.
The Shooting Stars will be followed by the Skills Challenge which will have Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks) and DeMar DeRozan (Toronto Raptors) a part of team one of the Eastern Conference with Michael Carter-Williams (Philadelphia 76ers) and Victor Oladipo (Orlando Magic) forming team two.
The Western Conference will be represented by Trey Burke (Utah Jazz) and Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers) team one and Goran Dragic (Phoenix Suns) and Reggie Jackson (Oklahoma City Thunder) team two.
That will be followed by the two events that everyone will be keeping a close eye on - the Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest.
Lillard will be a part of both of those contests, with Curry (Golden State Warriors), Marco Belinelli (San Antonio Spurs) and Kevin Love (Minnesota Timberwolves) being the other three in the Western Conference lineup for the three-point contest.
The Easter Conference will have Arron Afflalo (Orlando Magic), Bradley Beal (Washington Wizards), Kyrie Irving (Cleveland Cavaliers) and Joe Johnson (Brooklyn Nets).
