#3 Kyrie and KD return to NBA Christmas schedule
With the Brooklyn Nets expected to visit the Boston Celtics during the NBA Christmas games 2020, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant will return to the center-stage of the NBA.
The Nets will be an interesting team to watch in the upcoming NBA season and are clear contenders in the East.
Irving and Durant will play in the NBA Christmas schedule for the first time as teammates. This will also be their first time playing at Christmas since 2018 (Irving with Boston and Durant with Golden State).
Boston and Brooklyn played in the NBA Christmas schedule back in 2012, with the Celtics winning 93-76.
Brooklyn's last appearance on Christmas Day was in 2013.
#2 LA Clippers will look for revenge during NBA Christmas games 2020
The LA Clippers are expected to play against their nemesis from the 2020 NBA Playoffs: the Denver Nuggets.
The Nuggets defeated the LA Clippers in the second round of the 2020 NBA Playoffs to advance to the Western Conference Finals. The Clippers had a 3-1 lead before losing three consecutive games to see their season end at the hands of Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic.
With a new coach and some tweaks to their roster, Kawhi Leonard and the LA Clippers will look for revenge against Denver in NBA Christmas games 2020.
On the other hand, the Nuggets would like to follow last year with another huge season. Beating one of the main contenders of the West in NBA Christmas games 2020 would be solid for Denver.
#1 The King will face the future face of the NBA
LeBron James and the LA Lakers will try it all on their quest for back-to-back titles. The King remains the star in today's NBA, and his throne does not look threatened for next year.
However, there is a young pretender who could become the NBA's face in a short time and will want to show his talent in NBA Christmas games 2020.
Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks will visit the reigning champions LA Lakers on NBA Christmas games 2020.
The matchup will be extremely fun because we might see three contenders (including Anthony Davis) for NBA MVP battling in NBA Christmas games 2020.
The LA Lakers are clearly ahead of the pack in the Western Conference. However, the Dallas Mavericks are one of the main threats to the current champions. Moreover, our ranking of five challengers to the Lakers in the West has the Mavericks as the best rivals LA could have this year.
The Lakers played in the NBA Christmas schedule last year and lost to the LA Clippers.
The LA Lakers have played in every Christmas Day since 1999.
