Steven Adams' name features on the first list of voting for the NBA's All-Star game in February.

New Zealand basketballer Steven Adams has featured on the first list of fan voting for next month's NBA All-Star game.

The Oklahoma City Thunder centre has tallied the sixth most votes for a forward in the western conference, with 261,327.

While that's 26,055 ahead of seventh-placed Nikola Jokic, it's still a whopping 318,728 behind Thunder team-mate Paul George, meaning the Kiwi 25-year-old will still likely have his work cut out to be a starter for the showpiece game, and instead probably rely on being picked as one of the reserves.

Fan choices account for half of the votes, while the remaining 50 per cent is split equally between players and media.

After all the votes are in, players are ranked in each conference by position (guards and frontcourt) in each of the three voting groups (fans, players and media). The two guards and three frontcourt players with the best average weighted rank will be the starters.

The remaining 14 reserve players are selected by coaches' choice - seven from each conference.

Fan voting ends on January 21, with the two remaining fan voting updates to be shared on January 10 and 17.

The starters will be revealed on January 24, with the reserves to be announced on January 31, ahead of the game in Charlotte on February 17.
