In the nightcap, Anthony Edwards and the Wolves visit LeBron James and the Lakers at Crypto.com Arena (10 ET, TNT), with the King set to begin his 22nd NBA season, tying Vince Carter for the most all-time.

On Christmas Day, 64 days after the opening tip, hoop fans will have plenty to unbox with a loaded slate of games. The festivities begin with Victor Wembanyama making his Christmas Day debut against the Knicks at the World’s Most Famous Arena. Following this, a Western Conference Finals rematch takes place between Ant and the Wolves against Luka Doncic and the Mavs. Up next, Paul George, Joel Embiid, and the revamped Sixers are set to take on Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and the defending champs in Beantown. In primetime, LeBron and the Lakers face off against Steph Curry and the Warriors. To conclude NBA Christmas, Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets will face Kevin Durant and the Suns in the Valley.

The 2024-25 schedule features a slew of must-see games from October through April, including events like NBA Rivals Week, MLK Day, NBA Global Games, and more – including the previously announced Emirates NBA Cup.
