Find each of our individual previews here:

• SportsLine NBA Expert Mike Barner gives a preview on the All-Star Game with a STRONG lean towards one of the captain's teams.
• NBA expert Bob Konarski is playing one side of the total in Sunday night's game and tells you where the value lies on MVP.
• For the All-Star Saturday Night events, Barner is fading Team Giannis in the Skills Challenge since he doesn't buy into the Antetokounmpo brothers' shooting. For the 3-Point Contest, Barner's top pick is a reliable three-point shooter who drains trey after trey. He also likes an "explosive" player at more than 2-1 odds to take home the Slam Dunk crown.
• Barner also has a pick for Friday night's Rising Stars mini-tournament and likes a team that has "all the pieces" to win this event.
• DFS pro Mike McClure, who has won more than $2 million in his career, has revealed his top daily Fantasy picks, and they include James and a couple of other starters you need to pay up for.
