Programming note: Warriors-Pistons coverage starts tonight at 6:30pm with Warriors Pregame Live on CSN Bay Area, and streaming live right here.

On Thursday, the NBA released its second All-Star fan voting update.

Steph Curry leapfrogged Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in total votes, and is now second only to LeBron James.

Among Western Conference frontcourt players, Kevin Durant remains in first, with Zaza Pachulia holding strong in second place and Draymond Green in fifth.

Kawhi Leonard and Anthony Davis are third and fourth respectively.

Klay Thompson is fourth among Western Conference guards (James Harden is second and Russell Westbrook is third), while Andre Iguodala is in eighth.

Fan voting continues to surge as more than 21 million votes have been cast, a 142% increase from the same time period last year. 

Fans will account for 50 percent of the vote to determine the 10 starters for the 66th NBA All-Star Game, which will take place on Sunday, Feb. 19 at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.  All current NBA players and a panel of basketball media will account for 25 percent each, with each participant completing one full ballot featuring two guards and three frontcourt players from both conferences.

Voting for fans, players and media will conclude on Monday, Jan. 16 at 8:59pm PT and starters will be announced on Thursday, Jan. 19 at 4pm PT. The Eastern Conference and Western Conference All-Star reserves, as selected by NBA head coaches, will be announced the following week on Thursday, Jan. 26.
