The roster of players for the 2020 NBA All-Star Game is already stacked. And there are still 14 players to add.
On Thursday, the reserves for this year's All-Star Game will be announced. The 10 starters have already been revealed, which includes the two captains—Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. That has set up a rematch between the Western and Eastern Conference captains last year.
The starters were decided by voting, 50 percent of which came from fans and 25 percent each from current NBA players and a media panel. The reserves will be decided by voting from NBA head coaches, who weren't allowed to vote for their own players.
James and Antetokounmpo will select teams during a draft on Feb. 6. This format replaced the traditional Eastern Conference vs. Western Conference matchup beginning in 2018.
Here's a look at the starters for the All-Star Game, followed by predictions for the reserves who will be selected next week.

There was a lot of movement in the West this past offseason, as several teams added star players and made deals swapping others. One notable trade featured Westbrook being sent to Houston, with Paul moving to Oklahoma City.
Now, it's quite likely that Westbrook and Paul will both be All-Stars in their first seasons with their new teams.
Westbrook ranks 10th in the NBA with 26.0 points per game and is also averaging 8.1 rebounds and 7.4 assists. He'll likely be joining Harden as Rockets representatives at the All-Star Game.
Paul, in his 15th NBA season, continues to excel while playing for the fourth team of his career. He is averaging 17.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game while leading the Thunder to a 28-19 start this season.
Both of these point guards are no strangers to All-Star Game appearances. Westbrook is an eight-time All-Star and has been one each of the last five years. Paul is a nine-time All-Star, but he hasn't been selected since the 2015-16 season.
Another player who should make the All-Star Game in his first season with a new team is George.
Like Westbrook, George was traded by the Thunder during the offseason as he paired up with Leonard on the Clippers. As expected, the duo has thrived in Los Angeles, helping the team get off to a 33-14 start.
A six-time All-Star, George is averaging 23.5 points and 6.0 rebounds, although he's currently dealing with hamstring tightness.
The backcourt options in the East are slim, so it's possible only two guards will be picked as reserves. However, in order to keep the draft pool more balanced, there could be three, which would lead to Lowry earning his sixth All-Star nod.
Despite losing Leonard, the Raptors are 32-14 and are second in the conference. Lowry has been a big part of that success, as he's averaging 20.0 points and 7.3 assists per game.
