NBA basketball will be played on Christmas Day for the 76th time.
The NBA's second Christmas offering is a clash between the league's last two champions: the Golden State Warriors and Denver Nuggets.
The Nuggets won their first NBA title in franchise history last season, and Nikola Jokić was named Finals MVP in the process. Warriors star Stephen Curry won his first Finals MVP in 2022.
But things have changed since this match was announced. The Warriors are no longer the same team they were when they won their fourth dynasty title. Golden State will be without Draymond Green, one of the league's better defensive options against Jokić. Of course, the Warriors still have Curry, who can never be counted out.
This game still has the potential to be a close game as four of the eight meetings in the last three seasons have been decided by a single possession.

The Knicks do a great job of making Dame work for that basket, Hart does a good job of blocking the double stagger and then working across the top of the screen, and then Quickley with a good transition to get Dame from the three-point range. to bring line. The good effort simply didn't pay off on this possession. pic.twitter.com/4i1TIRrQWC
