NBA All-Star Weekend: 5 Predictions for the All-Star Game MVP award

#4 Russell Westbrook

Brodie won the All-Star MVP award in 2015 and 2016.

Russell Westbrook has found his groove in the Houston Rockets uniform this season. Ever since he has teamed up with James Harden in Houston, Westbrook is scoring 27.2 points per game - his highest since 2017.

The UCLA poduct is a former regular season MVP, and this is the 9th All-Star selection of his career. Considering Brodie is a frequent presence at the All-Star game, his experience would be invaluable when the lights are brightest.

With him and James Harden both repping Team LeBron, it will be a sight to witness when this partnership wreaks havoc on the opposition.

#3 Luka Doncic

Doncic is an MVP contender at just 20 years of age

Luka Doncic has been posting near-triple-double averages this season, doing more than enough to punch his name into the All-Star starting lineup. He ended up on Team LeBron and now, the basketball world can't wait to see what's in store for him in Chicago.

The Slovenian phenom and former Euroleague Champ has ripped the league open with his mature approach to the game, and his aptitude to slow the game down and play it at his pace. Not the most athletic player around, Doncic makes up for his weaknesses in a multitude of ways.

While many are sceptical of his fundamentally sound style working in a flashy All-Star matchup, it can be argued that Luka's repertoire and adaptability to fit into the scheme of things would hold him in good stead.
