Boston Celtics binary star wings Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum held steady in the latest returns of fan voting for 2020-21 NBA All-Star voting, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
For the returns for Eastern Conference Frontcourt voting, Tatum remained in fourth place with 1.6 million votes, well behind Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (3 million votes) and nearly three times the votes of Miami Heat wing Jimmy Butler (662,691 votes). Brown remained in fourth place among Eastern Conference guard returns with just over a million votes, trailing James Harden by about 800,000 votes and just ahead of Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine with 936, 309 total votes.

It seems unlikely either will catch their respective frontrunners now with Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant having 4.2 million votes to lead frontcourt voting, and Washington Wizards star guard Bradley Beal leading backcourt voting with 2.5 million.
Both seem very likely to get the nod as reserves if their voters continue to support them — and their play continues to warrant it.
