Voting for the upcoming NBA All-Star Game is in full swing and the fans are casting their choices and making their opinions known.
We are only a few weeks away from the big game so time is running out for NBA loyalists to get their favorite players into the game.
We reported on the first fan voting results last week but the newest batch has arrived and it contains a few surprises and changes.
In the second returns for All-Star voting 👀
– Jayson Tatum moves past Joel Embiid for the final starting frontcourt spot

For example, Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics has moved past Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers for the last starting frontcourt sport for the East.
Meanwhile, Kevon Looney of the Golden State Warriors is now ahead of Kawhi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers, while both De’Aaron Fox of the Sacramento Kings and Julius Randle of the New York Knicks have both emerged in their respective top tens.
As we know, there are still a few more weeks before voting concludes and the lineups are finalized.
That means that until then, fans are going to keep casting their choices as often as possible.
The top of each team has remained the same with LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and Kyrie Irving sitting at the top of the charts.
Other guys like Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, and Donovan Mitchell are all shoo-ins right now.
The All-Star Game will be held in Salt Lake City on February 19 and, as always, there will be some fireworks, some surprises, and some new faces that leave a lasting impression.
Fans account for 50% of the vote to decide the All-Star starters while NBA players and a panel of media members account for 25% each.
