The NBA always goes big on Christmas Day. This year is no exception.
Once again, some of the league's biggest stars will take the court on the holiday. The action starts early with the Knicks hosting Joel Embiid, James Harden and the 76ers. LeBron James and Luka Doncic will then go head-to-head before Jayson Tatum's Celtics host Giannis Antetokounmpo's Bucks and Stephen Curry's Warriors host Ja Morant's Grizzlies in a pair of 2022 NBA Playoff rematches.
To close the night, Devin Booker's Suns will travel to Denver to battle Nikola Jokic's Nuggets.
While the Knicks, Celtics and Lakers have been Christmas Day staples, this will mark the first time the Grizzlies have ever played on the holiday.
From the starting time of each game to broadcast and streaming information, The Sporting News has you covered below with everything you need to know to tune into every matchup.
