The Nuggets and reigning MVP are awarded with a Christmas Day game.

After being left out of the Christmas Day games last year, the Denver Nuggets are slated to face off against the Phoenix Suns on December 25th in Denver. The Nuggets have had two Christmas Day games in the Nikola Jokiu0107 era, one versus the New Orleans Pelicans and one against the Los Angeles Clippers. Both games resulted in the Nuggets losing at home.
