The traditional Christmas five games are an important showcase for the NBA. This year, the Spurs Victor Wembanyama launch hostilities from 6:00 p.m., against the Knicks. Then, the Mavericks host the Wolves at 8:30 p.m. then there will be Celtics – Sixers (11:00 p.m.), Warriors – Lakers (2:00 a.m.) and finally Suns – Nuggets (4:00 a.m.).
And will there be anyone missing under the tree? The only certainty is that Devin Booker will not play for Phoenix. Hit during the match against the Pacers, the Suns guard will miss his third game in a row.
In the other matches, there are uncertainties but still no package confirmed among the different stars.
So, in Los Angeles, Anthony Davis And LeBron James are uncertain, just as Jamal Murray with the Nuggets or even Jayson Tatum with the Celtics. But there is a good chance that they will hold their place.
Same thing for Luka Doncicabsent two games last week following a heel problem, but who still returned to action on Monday, during the Mavericks' match against Portland.
Note that this Christmas marathon can be followed on the channels of beIN Sports 1, which broadcasts all the matches.
