With just one week left, Dwyane Wade appears safe from a Bieber blitz.

Last year, Canadian pop star Justin Bieber mobilized his fans to vote Toronto point guard Kyle Lowry into the All-Star Game, and Lowry passed Wade in the final balloting to get the star next to Washington's John Wall. Wade made the team, voted in as a reserve, though he ultimately sat out the game with a hamstring injury.

The next balloting update is this upcoming Thursday but, in the last one, Wade had such a comfortable lead over all the other guards, including Lowry -- who was third behind Cleveland's only-recently-returning Kyrie Irving -- that it seems a lock that Wade will start. This will be the 12th time in 13 seasons that Wade has been named to the East team.

Which leaves this question:

In a much improved Eastern Conference, will Wade be joined by a Heat teammate there?

Well, if he is, it will be Chris Bosh.

It should be Chris Bosh, actually -- and that would have special significance to him, since the game is in Toronto, where he spent his first seven seasons.

But that still isn't assured.

Let's look at this a little closer.

Start here: the Heat will not get three players on the team. The Cavaliers might, especially if Irving is voted in, as an undeserving starter, based on his lack of availability this season. LeBron James will be starting with him. Their third would be Kevin Love, who didn't make it last season, but has enjoyed a more positive narrative this season, even if his numbers aren't all that different -- he came into Sunday averaging 16.3 points (compared to 16.4 last season) and 10.6 rebounds (up from 9.7), with a slightly lower shooting percentage (42.3 overall compared to 43.4).

Actually, Bosh is having a better season than Love, but more on that in a minute.

And if the Cavaliers have a comfortable lead in what is an otherwise-crowded East playoff picture -- especially considering they were without Irving for the first two months -- coaches will reward them by naming Love.

The Heat, however,has entered the tougher stretch of its schedule, and may not be much over .500 by the time the coaches vote on the reserves in a couple of weeks.

So Miami won't get three. That means that unless Hassan Whiteside surges from eighth to third in East frontcourt voting, to grab a starting spot, he won't get an invitation. If the coaches are left to decide between Bosh and Whiteside, as they will be -- since Bosh isn't likely to surge from sixth to third either -- it's no contest. It will be Bosh. That's in part due to the numbers, with Bosh averaging 19.2 points and 7.9 rebounds compared to 12.1 points and 11.1 rebounds for Whiteside. But it's also due to track record. Bosh is a coach's favorite around the NBA; every team would love to have him. Whiteside is still proving himself, after bouncing around.

Will Bosh make it?

OK, let's assume that James and Paul George keep their leads in the frontcourt, a safe assumption based on where each stands. And let's figure that Wade and Irving, or Wade and Lowry, or Wade and Jimmy Butler, or Wade and Wall, start in the backcourt.

Wall and Butler will make the team as reserves if they don't as starters. Lowry is a likely selection too, especially with the game in Toronto. Irving probably only makes it if he's voted in as a starter.

If Irving does, those are the five guards. Another Raptor, DeMar DeRozan, deserves to be the sixth -- he's 10th in the NBA, and third in the East, in scoring, and the Raptors have hung near the top of the East standings. That would mean that Detroit's Reggie Jackson, putting up 19.9 points and 6.4 assists for a surprising Pistons squad, would be the No. 1 backcourt oversight, and Charlotte's Nic Batum (proving to be one of the best offseason acquisitions) would be No. 2. Isaiah Thomas, 16th in the NBA in scoring, while playing for the competitive Celtics, would also qualify as a snub; and two 2015 All-Stars from Atlanta, Jeff Teague and Kyle Korver, will probably sit this one out too.

But whatever six are taken -- barring a Batum selection as a small forward -- that leaves six frontcourt spots, two of which James and George are taking. The third will go to Detroit's Andre Drummond, if he holds his small vote lead. If not, Drummond will go as a reserve; he's averaging 15.6 rebounds, and everything else about his game has improved.

That leaves three spots. New York's Carmelo Anthony is the most likely to pass Drummond, especially now that the Knicks are showing life. If he starts, four spots are taken, with just two left.

My guess is that, if that happens, would be Bosh and Love.

Even so, it's tricky for both.

Brook Lopez is having a strong season, but the Nets are a mess. Atlanta, however, is still playing well, and the coaches love the way they play -- so that means either Paul Millsap (18.3 ppg, 8.7 rpg, 48%) or Al Horford (15.8 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 51%) could get selections, more likely Millsap. There will be support for Orlando's Nik Vucevic (17.1 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 52%) as well, since the Magic has exceeded expectations.

So here is what Bosh needs:

Drummond to get voted in ahead of Anthony. Anthony is having a good season, but not a great one, and it's possible the coaches dock him for being the star of a team that was awful last year and remains middling this season. The coaches to really look at his numbers, and those of Love, rather than just voting Love into the game because Cleveland's record is better. If Irving isn't named a starter, Love is a lock, since Cleveland needs two (to make sure it has at least as many players as any other East team), but it doesn't necessarily need three. The Heat to be somewhere in the top four in the East, even if it's only by a game or two over the 5th spot. It would help to be ahead of Atlanta.

At the moment, though, it's easy to envision a scenario where James, George and Anthony are the starters, and Drummond, Love and Millsap (for Atlanta representation) are the reserves -- in a season that is Bosh's best for Miami, and may be the best of his career, considering how much better he is defensively than when he played for the Raptors.
