The NBA released its third set of fan voting results for All-Star starters, with little movement near the top of the vote-getters.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James surpassed Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Stephen Curry for the lead in total votes with nearly seven million. Curry now sits in second, with Brooklyn Nets wing Kevin Durant remaining in third.

The Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo and Denver Nuggets' Nikola Jokic round out the top five. There were no new players included in this week's returns compared to the last tally.
