Viewers' guide to All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles

Guess who's back? An All-Star celebrity game in L.A. wouldn't be complete without, you guessed it, The Biebs! That's right, after a seven-year hiatus, 2011 celebrity game MVP Justin Bieber will hit the court for Team Lakers. And in case you forgot, here's a look at his previous performance in the game:

Rising Stars Challenge: Friday, 9 p.m. ET (TNT)

Future stars take the stage: After a Friday night appetizer of celeb hoops, the future of the NBA hits the court at Staples Center for the Rising Stars Challenge. For the fourth straight year, the U.S. faces the world.

Sixers vs. everyone: The World Team includes a trio of Philadelphia 76ers stars in Rookie of the Year front-runner Ben Simmons, All-Star starter Joel Embiid and big man Dario Saric. The U.S. Team counters with Rookie of the Year contenders Jayson Tatum, Donovan Mitchell and Dennis Smith Jr.

Points! The most combined points in the game is 311, set in Toronto during All-Star Weekend 2016. Maybe the bright lights of Hollywood -- and some warmer temperatures compared to February in Canada -- will lead to a new Rising Stars record.

Betting line: USA (-2) vs. World | Over/under: 297.5 (via Westgate Las Vegas SportsBook)

Rising Stars by future potential: Jonathan Givony and Mike Schmitz draft the NBA's best rookies and sophomores to build two teams for five years from now.Insider.
