Although he's been critical to the team's on-court success this year, Cavs big man Jarrett Allen was snubbed on All-Star honors.

The NBA All-Star have been selected, and it’s LeBron James and Steph Curry who are the headliners, but there are a handful of players who just missed out.

With the Cavaliers down two points, Darius Garland, their potential All-Star guard and 90 percent free-throw shooter, sat alone at the line with the chance to give Cleveland the lead. Even if he failed to make all three free throws, Cleveland, via a Flagrant One on the Rockets, would have the ball with a chance to seal the game.

Jarrett Allen's rebound Over looks awfully appetizing on this Friday night based on the matchup with the Sixers and the injury situation in Cleveland. That and more in Andrew Caley's three-pack of NBA props for this evening.

A deep field of All-Star contenders meant there were a bunch of players that felt snubbed by Thursday’s announcement of reserves.

Among those to make the cut are first-timer Victor Wembanyama and 21st-timer LeBron James. Six teams had multiple selections, while only two teams above .500 — the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings — had none. The game is once again stacked with recognizable talent, but there were plenty more players beyond the 24 players selected.

It's the second career All-Star nod for Garland and the first for Mobley. They'll join teammate Donovan Mitchell, who was elected as a starter last week.

All-Star snubs, at least not outside a couple of cases. Even so, with the NBA as talented as it is these days, there were still some very high-level players who failed to earn All-Star honors this year.
