The NBA 2023 Christmas Day slate marks the 76th edition of games on the holiday and the 16th year in a row with five games in one day.
Two of the NBA's winningest franchises -- the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics -- face off on Christmas Day for the first time since 2008.
Five MVP winners will appear on the holiday: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, Stephen Curry, LeBron James and Kevin Durant. The previous four NBA champions are playing too: the Lakers (2020), Milwaukee Bucks (2021), Golden State Warriors (2022) and Denver Nuggets (2023).
