Free@ NBA All-Star Game 2020 live stream: How to watch Team Giannis vs. Team LeBron online from anywhere

The captains have been announced, the drafts are complete and now the action is all set to start for this year's NBA All-Star Game.

The format of this year's All-Star Game has been changed somewhat, with some of those changes made in order to honor Kobe Bryant who tragically died last month in a helicopter crash.

Each of the first three quarters this year will have the score set to 0-0, with the winning side of each receiving $100,000 per quarter for a Chicago-based charity of their choice.

The fourth quarter will be untimed and will see each side trying to reach a target of 24 points (Bryant's old uniform number) more than the total of whichever team has the lead at the end of third quarter (i.e., if the team in the lead has 100 points, the target score would be 124). The first team to reach that target wins the game.

The draft saw Team Giannis' opt for a line-up made up entirely of Eastern Conference players, while Team LeBron's line-up is made up of all players from the Western Conference. Lakers head coach Frank Vogel will coach Team LeBron while Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse will take charge of Team Giannis.
