2021 NBA All-Star Game: Full team lineups, start time, how to watch or stream

The Rockets don’t have an NBA All-Star in 2021, since their lone candidate (Christian Wood) has been sidelined by an ankle injury for more than a month. Since acquiring James Harden before the 2012-13 season, Houston had at least one All-Star in each of the next eight years.

Nonetheless, it is the only NBA action until the 2020-21 regular season resumes on Thursday, so it may still be worth a watch. Plus, for any fans dreaming of Houston’s next contender of the post-Harden era, it could be an opportunity to watch future targets via trade or free agency.

Unlike most years, all of the All-Star events — including the game, 3-point shootout, dunk contest, and skills competition — are on one jam-packed Sunday night. That’s part of the NBA’s revised plan to condense activities, owing to various risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For those interested in watching, here’s an itinerary:
