Unsurprisingly, Steph and LeBron will be part of the NBA's Christmas Day schedule in the upcoming 2024-25 season. And for the second time in the LeBron/Laker era, he will play Curry in San Francisco.
If the order of the games is an indication of when the games will be played, then the Lakers and Warriors will be a primetime showdown that will likely do huge numbers, as LeBron-Curry matchups always do.
Victor Wembanyama playing on a Christmas game seems like an easy decision. The Wolves and Mavericks in a Western Conference Finals rematch is great while the Sixers and Celtics are shaping up to be two of the top teams in the East. And wrapping up with a Nuggets-Suns game that has produced exciting results in recent seasons is a great nightcap.
Since that game, the Lakers have only won once on Christmas, that coming in the 2020-21 season when they won big over the Mavericks. They've lost each of the three games since then against the Nets, Mavericks, and Celtics.
