Will be tonight at 7ET.

For sake of predictions:

ON Christmas
Celtics-Bulls
Nets-Knicks
Lakers-Heat
Mavs-Thunder
Warriors-Portland


And on MLK Day:
Chicago at Memphis

I think Spurs Thunder is much more likely on Christmas than Mavs Thunder.

Derrick Rose is out most of the season right? Celtics-Nets/Knicks more likely than Celtics-Bulls. Probably Clippers-Thunder over Mavs-Thunder.

Better way is to predict the glamour teams for next year - who gets more national TV games?:

Heat
Lakers

Thunder

Celtics
Clippers
Nets
Knicks

Two guesses:

Mavs-Nets
Heat-Celtics
Spurs-Thunder
Lakers-Clippers
Knicks-Bulls

Mavs-Spurs
Nets-Knicks
Heat-Celtics
Lakers-Thunder
Grizz-Clips

Would love to see Mavs/Spurs on Christmas day.

Christmas day prediction:
Bulls-Celtics
Knicks-Nets
Thunder-Heat
Spurs-Lakers
Clippers-Warriors

Rockets-Knicks seems like a strong Christmas day possibility

^^ Did not consider that, but definitely a strong candidate.

Christmas Day games

Boston-Nets
Knicks-Lakers
OKC-Miami
Houston-Chicago
Denver- Clippers

Opening Day (one of these is not like the others):

Washington @ Cleveland
Boston @ Miami
Dallas @ L.A. Lakers

Jeremy Lin literally got the rockets a Christmas day game. Unbelievable, as the rockets will be 5 games under .500 at thy point
