Nor Cal vs. So Cal
With Adam Silver and his bestie LeBron James set to unveil their schedule for the 2019 regular season later this week, the official list of games for Christmas Day has leaked.
This season, big market teams and superstars headline the pending December festivities in a few months, as the Los Angeles Lakers will be taking on the Golden State Warriors.
Since both teams are set to play each other four times, we’re assuming the league will be saving their first meeting for December 25th, with each set to play different opponents on opening night.
Take a look at the list of games below, as official home and away matchups will be updated.
2018 X-Mas Day Games
Milwaukee Bucks vs New York Knicks
Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers
Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors
Houston Rockets vs. OKC Thunder
Portland Trailblazers vs. Utah Jazz
A vintage dose of Celtics/Sixers, Giannis and the Bucks at MSG against the Knicks and (you guessed it) LeBron's Lakers in Oakland to face the Warriors are the highlights of the NBA's Christmas Day schedule that will be announced Wednesday afternoon, league sources tell @NYTSports
