OKC Thunder: 2019 NBA schedule of All-Star weekend events and what to watch for

Three OKC Thunder players head to Charlotte, NC for the 2019 NBA All-Star weekend festivities. Peruse the schedule below and key things to watch for.

With the OKC Thunder completing their final game of prior to the All-Star break they finish with a 37-20 record. They’ll return to the hardcourt with 25 games remaining and arguably their toughest stretch of opponents. Tankathon, in fact, lists the OKC Thunder with the hardest remaining schedule.

Entering the break the majority of Thunder players will take some time to get away and rest. All except Russell Westbrook, Paul George, and rookie Hamidou Diallo, who are slated to participate in the weekend events. The Brodie and PG13 will play in the big game Sunday, February 17 while Diallo will participate in the AT&T Slam Dunk competition.

Thinking back to two seasons ago when Westbrook made his entire presser about fashion it’s almost a veritable certainty he’ll serve up some hot takes at the microphone. Or he and Paul George may surprise and focus on being low-key. Either way, Thunder Nation can expect a killer sound bite and at least one impressive highlight in the big game.

With Diallo in the slam dunk competition expect to see Russ and PG courtside on Saturday night as they support their rookie.

Here is the schedule for the weekend along with key things to watch for.
