Christmas NBA action: Stephen Curry vs LeBron James, and more!

For basketball players in the NBA, Christmas celebrations will have to wait: there are hot games to play first, on Wednesday, 25 December! 10 of the greatest teams of the 2024-2025 season go head to head. One standout encounter to look forward to is Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers: Curry vs James! Let’s see what else is on the menu…

New York Knicks vs San Antonio Spurs

25/12 6 p.m.

Most likely to win: New York Knicks

The Knicks are enjoying a pretty decent season in the Eastern Conference, obtain spot 3 so far. The Spurs, meanwhile, are only 11th in the Western Conference. NY wins this one!

Dallas Mavericks vs Minnesota Timberwolves

25/12 8.30 p.m.

Most likely to win: Dallas Mavericks

In this Christmas game, the numbers 4 and 7 of the Western Conference cross swords. It could be a tight battle, but in the end, we expect the Mavericks to come out on top.

Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers

25/12 11 p.m.

Most likely to win: Boston Celtics

The Celtics have been clawing their way to the top, coming just short of the first place in the Eastern Conference. A Boston victory over the 76ers seems inevitable.

Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers

26/12 2 a.m.

Most likely to win: Golden State Warriors

Spectacle is guaranteed when the two biggest West Coast teams are up against each other: don’t expect these rivals to take it easy because it’s Christmas! The Warriors should win, though.

Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets

26/12 4.30 a.m.

Most likely to win: Phoenix Suns

In an all-Western Conference confrontation, the Suns (6th) meet the Nuggets (5th). All things considered, a prediction for the team from Phoenix to beat the Denver side is the smarter option.
