The NBA All-Star Game 2015 is on Sunday night and the basketball matchup is live on TV from TNT and online from TNT Overtime as the eastern and western conference all stars battle and radio stream coverage is live from ESPN starting up past 8:30 pm ET as stars like Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge, James Harden, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry take the court at Madison Square Garden.
The Garden has not hosted too many great games this season with the Knicks playing there, but Sunday night will have some stars on the court. The last time the game was in New York was in the 80s and Steve Kerr comes in coaching the west after he was wooed to be the Knicks head coach. The Barclays Center hosted the Slam Dunk contest and Three Point Shootout on Saturday night and that saw Stephen Curry and Zach LaVine win titles.
Carmelo Anthony said that he would play some minutes in the game for the home fans and it's likely that he will shut things down for the season after that. The west will be without Anthony Davis, Blake Griffin as well as Kobe Bryant and Kerr will have James Harden, Klay Thompson and Aldridge starting. Kerr opted to go with Aldridge over Kevin Durant in place of Davis and that came after Durant was expected to start.
Durant missed most of the first part of the season with an injury and he comes in after coming back after the 27th game of the year for the Thunder. Durant has been playing at a high level in 26 games since coming back, putting up 25.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists and he was voted into the game as a reserve. Davis is out of the game after dealing with a shoulder injury and falling hard last week and now he will be out of action until he is healthy.
Harden is leading the league in scoring over LeBron James and Russell Westbrook, while Anthony Davis and Carmelo are in the top five. DeMarcus Cousins is among the league leaders in rebounding, while John Wall, Ty Lawson and Chris Paul are tops in assists. Davis is leading the league in blocker per game over DeAndre Jordan.
