Giannis Antetokounmpo: 5 Predictions For The All-Star Game
By Reid Mueller
Stat Line Prediction
It’s hard to predict an All-Star stat line, as you just don’t know how they’ll mesh together on the floor, but considering this is his first All-Star appearance, and he’s bound to be a little riled up, I think he’ll perform quite well.
My prediction: 20 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, four steals, and a block.
The East starting line up doesn’t have much size to it. He’ll be starting alongside Kyrie Irving, DeMar DeRozan, LeBron James, and Jimmy Butler. Outside of LeBron, they don’t have a lot of ability to rebound the ball, so I expect Giannis to hit double digits there.
Blocks are fairly rare in the All-Star game, but I do think he’ll get at least one. Steals on the other hand are a consistent part of this game, as there tends to be a few lazy passes, or ambitious passes that can be picked off.

I’m not expecting the Bucks star to return with a MVP trophy, but it is within the realm of possibilities. Cheer on the All-Star on Sunday Night, at 7 p.m. central time.
