Durant and Westbrook at the All-Star Game Preview

Kevin Durant will be making his seventh appearance at the NBA All-Star game tonight. Russell Westbrook will be making his fifth appearance. Even though both are old hands at this whole All-Star thing, it is still the first time that both of them will be in the starting lineup.

Westbrook will have to make a lot of noise if he wants to replicate last year's MVP performance. Back in 2015, Westbrook dropped 41 points on 16 of 28 shooting. There wasn't a whole lot to go along with that (5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 3 steals), but no one counts those stats in an All-Star game.
