NBA Christmas:
Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors | Dec. 26, 1: 30 a.m E.T.
With the Cavs assembling a more solid roster (at least on paper) and looking to revenge the 2016-2017 finals mismatch, rivalry showdowns don’t get bigger than this.
Washington Wizards at Boston Celtics | Dec. 26, 4:00 a.m. E.T.
What we witnessed in last year’s Eastern Conference semi-finals suggests a bitter rivalry in the making. New additions to the Celtics’ roster ensure the continuity of bad blood and a very entertaining game with John Wall challenging Kyrie Irving for best point guard in the East.
Houston Rockets at Oklahoma City Thunder | Dec. 26, 6:30 a.m. E.T.
A battle for the 2nd best team in the west comes in the form of a duel between the reigning regular season MVP and the runner-up. With revamped superstar squads, this game promises buckets, lots of buckets, and very exciting plays coming from the top players in the league.
Minnesota Timberwolves at Los Angeles Lakers | Dec. 26, 9:00 a.m. E.T.
A showdown between two reinforced young teams with fledgling superstars trying to make their make in the very strong Western Conference. Karl Anthony Towns will be looking to have a breakout season while the much-hyped rookie, Lonzo Ball will be trying to fit in the shoes his father Lavar Ball has designed for him.
Guess the Lakers players!
