The highlight of the day will be a rematch of last season’s NBA Finals, as Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs visit Jalen Brunson and the defending champion New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The matchup will put the two teams from last season’s championship series back on the same court just months after the Finals.
In Boston, Jayson Tatum and the Celtics will host Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Miami Heat in another highly anticipated Eastern Conference clash, with two of the league’s top stars facing off on Christmas.
The spotlight will also be on Los Angeles, where LeBron James will return to face the Lakers and Luka Dončić. The game will mark LeBron’s return to LA against his former team, adding another layer to an already highly anticipated matchup.
The Christmas Day schedule will also feature a superstar guard battle between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards, bringing together two of the NBA’s most explosive perimeter players.
The day will conclude in the Bay Area, where Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray will take on Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. The matchup will pit two of the league’s most accomplished duos against each other in another must-watch Christmas Day showdown.
Five games, a long list of superstars and several major storylines: the NBA has once again put together a Christmas Day schedule worthy of the occasion.
