Warriors’ Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry named All-Star starters
In 2015, when guard Klay Thompson was an injury replacement in the starting lineup alongside Curry, Golden State snapped a nearly half-century streak without two starters in the same All-Star Game (Rick Barry and Nate Thurmond in 1967). Despite a strong push from his native country of Georgia, the Warriors' Zaza Pachulia is unlikely to make his first career All-Star appearance next month. After Pachulia came within 15,000 votes of being an All-Star starter last season, the NBA changed its voting system. Through Wednesday, Curry was second in the league this season in free-throw percentage (92.6) and three-pointers (158), 12th in scoring (24.6 points per game) and 15th in assists (6.1). Despite playing with a cast of big names, Durant is posting career highs in field-goal percentage, rebounds, blocks per game and assist-to-turnover ratio.
