Ben Simmons will aim to get his playoff-bound side straight back into form following the break when Philadelphia says goodbye to the touring Dwayne Wade, who could be playing his last game in the city.

All Star Captain Giannis Antetokounmpo was unable to secure a win on the weekend, but will have a chance against the Celtics this Friday.

The All Star MVP, Kevin Durant, will host the Sacramento Kings alongside his unstoppable team mates.

If the Bucks starters can continue along their inspirational form of late, they will beat the Celtics with ease.

Look at the Kings starting five and then look at the Warriors starting five. No words needed.

James Harden often puts on a show in front of big crowds, but he was quiet in the All Star game.

With the opportunity to dethrone the King on his home court, the Rockets will look to utilise Harden and Kenneth Faried’s two-man game to overpower the the Lakers struggles at both the centre and guard spots.
