2020 NBA All-Star Game live stream: How to watch online
By Ian Levy
The NBA All-Star Game will feature the chosen rosters of LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo battling for supremacy. Here’s how you can watch.
The cherry on top of All-Star Weekend is the NBA All-Star Game, played Sunday evening and featuring the best players in both conferences. The structure of the event has evolved a lot of the past few years, from how players are selected to creating a captain and draft system to actually determine the rosters on each side.
The league has also added several new wrinkles to the rules for the game this season, including that the winner for each quarter will determine donations to Chicago-based charitable organizations. From the NBA’s official explanation:
"Each of the first three quarters will begin with the score of 0-0 and will last 12 minutes. At the start of the fourth quarter, the game clock will be turned off and a Final Target Score will be set.The Final Target Score will be determined by taking the leading team’s total cumulative score through three quarters and adding 24 points. Once the Final Target Score is set, the teams will play an untimed fourth quarter and the first team to reach the Final Target Score will win the NBA All-Star Game."
After the televised All-Star draft, here’s how the rosters look, along with information on how you can actually tune in to watch.
