This year will mark the 75th edition of the NBA’s Christmas Day slate, and the 15th consecutive year that the league will play five games on the holiday. The NBA began playing on Christmas in 1947, and it has since become a tradition for all basketball fans to look forward, whether or not they opened up presents that morning.
The 2022 Christmas schedule is jam-packed with exciting playoff rematches and all the big names in basketball, and it all kicks off at noon in the mecca as the Knicks host the 76ers at Madison Square Garden. Then, fans will get a rematch of both the Western and Easter Conference Semifinals, on top of watching stars like LeBron James, Ja Morant, Steph Curry and Devin Booker.
