Playing on December 25 in the NBA is a source of pride. It is a reason to know that you have done or are doing something well. Because only the best play at Christmas. Because the competition reserves the best duels, the greatest duels, for this date. For a more than special date in which the menu is very complete.
In which we can see and enjoy ten of the best teams in the competition. Of many of the best players with, yes, the last minute loss of Joel Embiid in the Sixers. Despite the absence of one of the big favorites to win the regular season MVP, the rest will be there.
New York Knicks – Milwaukee Bucks
Basketball will not miss, again, the Christmas event at Madison Square Garden. The New Yorkers, with that trident formed by Randle, Brunson and Barret, receive the Wisconsin team. They receive a franchise that has one of the great duos, with one of the great couples, in the NBA.
Because talking about the Bucks is talking about Giannis Antetokounmpo. From a player who averages more than 30 points with a field goal effectiveness of 60%. And, next to him, Damian Lillard. One of the great stars of the NBA who faces his first season with the champion team of the 2020-21 season.
The match, which will be played at Madison Square Garden, will be played at 6:00 p.m. in Spanish peninsular time and can be seen on League Pass, the NBA’s payment application.
Denver Nuggets – Golden State Warriors
The last two champions face each other. The locals, with Jokic as a big star along with Jamal Murray. His quintet, spectacular; his bench, not so much. All in all, they are second in the West after the Timberwolves.
Meanwhile, the Warriors are taking flight again without Draymond Green, suspended until the NBA tells him he can play again after his attack on Nurkic. Stephen Curry, leader of San Francisco… will Garuba have minutes?
The match will start at 8:30 p.m. in Spanish peninsular time, one hour less in the Canary Islands, and can be seen on ‘Vamos’.
Los Angeles Lakers – Boston Celtics
The classic duel par excellence of the NBA. The two teams with the most rings in the history of the competition face each other at the Crypto Arena with, yes, some Celtics who seem a priori favorites against LeBron James’ team.
However, the Angelenos have just won the ‘In Season’ with an excellent Anthony Davis… although since then they have gone down. Meanwhile, Boston does not stop winning and in the last two games it surpassed the always reliable Kings in their home court and the Clippers of Harden, Paul George and Westbrook.
At 11:00 p.m., Spanish peninsular time, the great NBA classic will begin. It can be seen on Movistar Plus.
Miami Heat- Philadelphia Sixers
Florida will have its share of Christmas basketball, with the Miami Heat and the Philadelphia 76ers. Spoelstra’s team has just reached the NBA finals, despite finishing in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, and they are always competitive under the leadership of one of the best coaches in the League.
They have gotten Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo back. Butler, for his part, has just missed a few games but Jaime Jáquez Jr. is doing a lot to be one of the three best rookies of the season after Holmgrem and Wenbanyama.
The Sixers, without Embiid but with a Maxey who is heading to the ‘All Star’. However, Nick Nurse’s team is extremely dependent on Joel.
The match will begin at 02:00 Spanish peninsular time at the Kaseya Center, and can be seen on the League Pass.
Phoenix Suns – Dallas Mavericks
Luka Doncic enters the scene. The Slovenian, great leader of the Texas team, seeks to put on a new show at Christmas against a team, the Suns, who are disappointing. With Bradley Beal having barely participated in six games, and again injured, all the weight of the Arizona team falls on Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.
They are among the best there are, but the rest… They have 14 wins and 14 losses, and are even out of the ‘play in’ positions. Much less than expected for a franchise that before starting the course was a favorite for the ring.
Everything will be commented on at the Footprint Center in Arizona at 04:30 Spanish peninsular time, and can be seen on the League Pass.
