The NBA released its third update in the 2014 NBA All-Star balloting, and Stephen Curry's stock is on the rise. The Warriors guard leapfrogged Chris Paul and sits in second place in the West's backcourt, right behind Kobe Bryant.

With both Bryant and Paul injured, Curry appears a lock to become the first Warrior to start and All-Star Game since Latrell Sprewell in 1995. If the standings stay the same, Curry would start alongside former Golden State guard Jeremy Lin, who sits in fourth.

Three other Warriors are vying for roster spots, as Andre Iguodala (192,616) and David Lee (141,509) are currently ninth and 12th in the frontcourt voting, respectively, and Klay Thompson (108,404) -- who did not place in the second balloting update -- is up to ninth in the backcourt voting. Iguodala didn't move, as he was ninth in the second update, but Lee gained a slot, moving up from 13th to 12th, past Houston's Chandler Parsons.

The 63rd NBA All-Star Game takes place at New Orleans Arena on Sunday, Feb. 16, 2014 and will collectively reach fans in 215 countries and territories in more than 40 languages.

Balloting concludes on Monday, Jan. 20, and starters will be announced on Thursday, Jan. 23. The 2014 game will mark the second NBA All-Star celebration in New Orleans. The city also hosted the event in 2008.

NBA All-Star Balloting 2014 presented by Sprint gives fans around the world the opportunity to vote daily for their favorite players as starters for NBA All-Star Game 2014. This year, the NBA expanded social media voting to include Instagram. Fans can use Instagram to vote by posting an original photo, using #NBABallot and the player’s first and last name in the photo caption. Fans can vote for 10 unique players per day.

For the second year in a row, NBA fans can vote via social media networks, including Facebook and Twitter, and Sina Weibo and Tencent Microblog in China. Twitter voting allows fans to tweet a vote for 10 unique players each day throughout the All-Star balloting period. The tweet must include the player’s first and last name, along with hash tag #NBABallot. Facebook voting allows fans to comment on official league, team, or international NBA All-Star Facebook pages by commenting below the post with #NBABallot and the player’s first and last name. Voters can select 10 unique players per day.

There are several other ways fans can cast their votes as part of this season’s all-digital program including: in 11 languages on NBA.com/asb, through SMS voting by texting the player's last name to 6-9-6-2-2 ("MYNBA") or by visiting NBA.com/asb on any wireless device. Fans can vote for 10 different players per day, per phone number, via SMS voting by sending 10 separate SMS messages, each one with a different player's last name. Message and data rates may apply. Voters can fill out one full ballot per day on nba.com/asb from a desktop or mobile browser.
