On six specific days, fans will be able to cast votes that will be counted triple. These “3-for-1 Days” start on Christmas Day (Monday, December 25th), and run from 12:01 a.m. ET to 11:59 p.m. ET.

Updates on fan voting will be disclosed on the first three Thursdays of January (Jan. 4, 11, and 18). The starters for the NBA All-Star Game will be announced by TNT on Thursday, Jan. 25 during TNT NBA Tip-Off, sponsored by CarMax. The reserves, chosen by NBA head coaches, will also be announced by TNT on Thursday, Feb. 1 during TNT NBA Tip-Off.
Once all votes have been counted, players will be positioned in each conference by their role (guard or frontcourt) within each of the three voting groups – fan votes, player votes, and media votes. Each player’s score will be determined by averaging his weighted rank from fan votes, player votes, and media votes. The two top scoring guards and three leading frontcourt players in each conference will be selected as NBA All-Star Game starters. In case of a tie in scores within a position group, fan votes will decide the tiebreaker.
