After naming the 2018 All-Star starting lineups on Thursday, the NBA is set to announce the All-Star reserves on Tuesday. While the starters were named by a combined vote among fans, players and media members, the seven reserves from the East and West will be selected by coaches in each conference. Coaches must select two backcourt players, three frontcourt players and two position-less wildcards from each conference.
Last week, The Crossover revealed its official starter selections, which were as follows:
• East: Victor Oladipo (Pacers), Kyrie Irving (Celtics), LeBron James (Cavaliers), Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks), Joel Embiid (Sixers)
• West: James Harden (Rockets), Stephen Curry (Warriors), Kevin Durant (Warriors), Anthony Davis (Pelicans), Draymond Green (Warriors)
Note that, in the actual vote, Toronto’s DeMar Derozan was selected in place of Oladipo and New Orleans’s DeMarcus Cousins was named in place of Green.
