Three things to watch heading into NBA All-Star weekend. 

The 2022 NBA All-Star break is officially here. Before getting to the stretch run – which for most teams means somewhere between 20-25 games left on their schedule before the postseason – every team in the league will get a week-long break.

Of course, with the exception of the players that will be participating in NBA All-Star weekend. It’s an action-packed weekend that will feature both rising and current stars.
