Participants from the entertainment world include actor Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games), singers Common, Ne-Yo and Trey Songz, and reality TV stars Kevin Hart and Nick Cannon, both from "The Real Housewives of Hollywood."

The final participant in Friday's NBA All-Star Celebrity Challenge will be Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who scored 17 points in last year's game.
