NEW YORK  – Golden State's Draymond Green has moved into third place in voting for the Western Conference frontcourt, putting him in position to start in the NBA All-Star Game.

NBA MVP Stephen Curry and Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook are the leaders at guard for the Feb. 14 (Monday in Manila) game in Toronto.
 
LeBron James, Paul George and Detroit's Andre Drummond top the East frontcourt, with Drummond about 5,600 votes ahead of perennial All-Star Carmelo Anthony. Dwyane Wade and Kyrie Irving top the ballot at guard.
 
Starters will be announced Jan. 21 (Friday in Manila) .
