It’s an All-Star Game-focused episode of ‘The Big Number’ in which Tom Haberstroh and Dan Devine defend their starters in the Western Conference, led by Victor Wembanyama. Despite playing for a San Antonio Spurs team with a losing record, could Wemby become one of the youngest All-Star starters in NBA history?

The pair uses this week’s Little Numbers to make a case for the Western Conference’s remaining starters, including Nikola Jokić of the Denver Nuggets, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors and more. Can Luka Dončić be named a starter despite the few minutes he has played? And who will Dan & Tom choose between Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis and Sacramento Kings key player Domantas Sabonis?

Finally, Tom and Dan give an update on their over/unders competition and make two new picks on Victor Wembanyama’s free throw attempts and shooting distance.
