It appears the Miami Heat will continue to spread holiday cheer in the national spotlight.
The Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson is reporting that when the NBA announces its full schedule – more than likely on Tuesday, August 11th – that the Heat will find themselves spending Christmas at home with the New Orleans Pelicans.
Per league source, tentative (not yet definite) NBA schedule in circulation has New Orleans playing the Heat on Christmas in Miami at noon.

The Heat on Christmas is becoming what the Dallas Cowboys are to Thanksgiving, as this would mark their 12th game on the holiday, and their sixth consecutive appearance.
