It wouldn't be Christmas Day without basketball at Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks are set to host the 76ers at the Mecca of Basketball on Dec. 25, kicking off the NBA's Christmas Day slate. This gives NBA fans the chance to see stars Joel Embiid and James Harden take on the Knicks' Big 3 of Jalen Brunson, Julius Randle and RJ Barrett.

Embiid is no stranger to big performances on Christmas, averaging 30.0 points, 14.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.3 blocks over three games on the holiday. Harden also has a history of producing on Christmas, averaging 27.1 points, 7.6 assists and 6.0 rebounds over nine games.

Brunson had his coming out party on Christmas last season, going for 27 points and six assists in the Mavericks' loss to the Jazz. Last year was Randle's first game as a Knick on Christmas (he had previously played in three Christmas Day games with the Lakers), going for 25 points and 12 rebounds in a victory.
