The NBA is set to announce the 14 All-Star reserves tonight .

The 24 -man field is filled with snubs and agonizing decisions and is ripe for debate.

Darius Garland , Cade Cunningham , Evan Mobley , Jaylen Brown , Pascal Siakam and Damian Lillard are the East frontcourt players.

Before the season , both Joel Embiid and Paul George would have been expected to be in the running for a spot on this team.

But neither is within a hundred miles of it, leaving Bam Adebayo and Scottie Barnes out of contention.

Instead, the choice came down to the following guys: Brown , Siakam and Jarrett Allen .

LaMelo Ball , Tyrese Haliburton , Tyler Herro , Zach LaVine and Damian Lillard all have cases to be considered for final roster spots.

Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will go down to the wire in the MVP race.

Jaren Jackson Jr. has played in 45 of Memphis Grizzlies' 47 games this season .

Kyrie Irving and Anthony Edwards were easy choices as the reserve guards.
