NBA fixtures will take a week-long break and the encounters will be centre stage this weekend.
The popular celebrity game kicks off proceedings. Justin Bieber, Kevin Hart, Justin Timberlake, Jamie Foxx will all be taking part.
Unlike the All Star game, the Celebrity Game will not take place at the Charlotte Hornets’ stomping ground.
Instead, the All Star Celebrity Game will be played at the Bojangles’ Coliseum.

Los Angeles Lakers sensation LeBron James will not be in action tonight – but will play in the All Star Game come Sunday.
However, NBA expert Rob Parker has controversially claimed the 34-year-old will never be at the same level as 90’s legend Michael Jordan.
“Last year was the perfect example,” he told US outlet FS1.
“This is what people have watched about LeBron and why there’s an issue and why people react to him.
“You know this Chris because you’ve talked to many NBA players who even want to nudge Kobe [Bryant].
“I’m more about Jordan, but they’ll nudge Kobe ahead because even though you gave me the numbers it’s still about does the guy really want to make that shot and have the bonus hit.
“Last year, game one against Golden State, LeBron was having one of the most unbelievable playoff games we’ve seen – 51 point and nobody could stop him.
“It came down to the end of the game and he has Steph Curry in front of him, a miss match right?
“LeBron James could not be stopped that night.
“That could have altered the entire series where LeBron steals that game one in Golden State, he passes to George Hill who of course misses one of the two free throws and they wind up losing.
“My point is there’s been way to many of those moments where he ends up passing the ball in those spots.
“It’s not about making it, it’s about taking it.
“When you look at a guy like that, he can’t be stopped at the basket or the rim if he wanted to take it in.”
