NBA Christmas Day Schedule: Bold Predictions for All Five Games

The NBA’s Christmas slate features top players like Victor Wembanyama and LeBron James in five games, continuing an 80-year tradition with nearly 13 hours of basketball, ESPN said.

  • The NBA's Christmas Day slate begins with the Knicks hosting the Cavaliers at Noon ET at Madison Square Garden, with all five games simulcast on ABC and ESPN and streamed on the ESPN app.
  • Since 1947 the National Basketball Association has staged Christmas Day basketball, and this year the schedule skews West with eight of the ten participating teams from the Western Conference.
  • Oklahoma City and San Antonio renew their budding rivalry as the Thunder meet the Spurs, featuring Victor Wembanyama vs. Chet Holmgren, while LeBron James and Kevin Durant headline separate games.
  • Beyond the court, Christmas Day generates significant ad demand as Disney Ad Sales sold out inventory and advertiser revenue increased 61.1% with 84 brands across 40 categories and 37 new brands.
  • With the NFL adding more games, the NBA preserves its five‑game tradition while late‑night Denver Nuggets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves could preview another postseason rematch.
