The NBA released the early returns on All-Star fan on Thursday and Giannis Antetokounmpo is the leading vote-getter thus far. The Milwaukee Bucks star has received 1,710,630 votes to lead the overall balloting. Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić is the top player among Western Conference stars with 1,422,121 votes.

Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo is the early leader in fan balloting for the NBA All-Star Game, and LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers seems well on his way toward extending his record and getting picked for a 21st time.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and LaMelo Ball also join Jokić and Antetokounmpo as top vote-getters for guards in the East and West.

In their final meeting of the 2024-25 campaign, the Brooklyn Nets travel to Milwaukee to take on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks. The visitors are 1-2 again

The Brooklyn Nets (12-20) will be fielding a different team that they did the last time they visited the Toronto Raptors (7-26) after trading Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Brooklyn Nets rang in the New Year with a trip to Canada to face the Toronto Raptors. The Nets fought hard, but the Raps got hot and ended their 11 game losing streak. This is night two of a back-to-back for Jordi Fernandez and the Nets so we’ll see how they manage things this evening.
