Steph Curry and his teammates from the Golden State Warriors have been making headlines in the voting. Steph Curry has consistently been in the top 2 for the Western Conference guards and is currently leading the voting.

Klay Thompson, who is currently out with an Achilles injury, surprisingly has garnered significant fan support. He's currently in the top 10 for Western Conference guards despite not playing this season. Draymond Green, despite his struggling start to the season, is still in the race for a spot on the roster. He's currently in the top 10 for Western Conference frontcourt players. Andrew Wiggins, who has been a consistent performer for the Warriors, is also in the running for a spot on the team. He's currently in the top 10 for Western Conference frontcourt players. It remains to be seen who will make it to the NBA All-Star team, but the Warriors stars have certainly caught the fan's attention and garnered significant support.

With the NBA All-Star Game only a few weeks away, the league has released the first round of fan votes, with two Warriors making the list.

Andrew Wiggins is eighth among frontcourt players, while Steph Curry is third among guards in the Western Conference.

Nikola Jokić and Giannis Antetokounmpo lead their respective conferences in the first fan returns of #NBAAllStar Voting presented by AT&T.

The All-Star starting lineup consists of three frontcourt players and two guards, with an additional seven reserves chosen by the head coaches of each team.

Fan votes account for 50 percent of the All-Star vote, with the other half coming from NBA players and media members.

Curry, a 10-time All-Star, sits behind only Luka Dončić of the Dallas Mavericks and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the fan vote. With Dončić out with a severe calf strain, it’s not likely he will be able to suit up for the festivities on Feb. 14-16, which would put Curry in the starting lineup.

Having the Golden State superstar in the starting lineup for the first All-Star Game in the history of Chase Center would be a magical moment.
