2026 NBA All-Star Game Preview & Picks

Team World are tipped to win the NBA All-Star round-robin tournament.

This roster simply has everything – size in Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokic, power in Giannis Antetokounmpo and elite shooting in the form of Luka Doncic.

This is the perfect recipe for a tournament that will be a series of 12-minute sprints.

  • Luka Doncic leads the NBA in points per game (32.8)
  • Nikola Jokic leads the NBA in rebounds per game (12.3)
  • Nikola Jokic leads the NBA in assists per game (10.7)
  • Victor Wembanyama leads the NBA in blocks per game (2.7)
  • Nikola Jokic leads the NBA in second chance points per game (4.8)
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the NBA in points in the paint per game (18.7)

NBA All-Star Game Format

The NBA has changed the format for the All-Star ‘game’ once again in an attempt to breathe new life into this annual event.

This year three teams will compete in a round robin tournament – the USA Stripes (veteran players), the USA Stars (“Up and Coming Superstars”) and Team World (“Global Icons”).

Each matchup will last 12 minutes and Point Differential will serve as a tiebreaker, encouraging teams to play aggressive, fast-paced offense.

After all three games are played the top two teams in the standings will meet in the championship game.

Verdict

Size and power is simply a cheat code in a format where teams will compete in 12 minute sprints.

Team World has all of that, and it also boasts the NBA league leaders in a bunch of key statistical categories, so we are backing Wemby, Jokic, Doncic & Co. to claim the All-Star bragging rights.
