In this story:
If you were hoping this would be the year you could wake up on Christmas morning and open presents before watching the Charlotte Hornets play, well, I hate to inform you that you did not get your wish.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Hornets will not be playing on Christmas. Instead, it will be the San Antonio Spurs at New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves at Dallas Mavericks, Philadelphia 76ers at Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers at Golden State Warriors, and the Denver Nuggets at Phoenix Suns.
