Seems like we just watched Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors hoist the NBA Championship, but NBA news never stops. Today we got a Woj bomb on the Christmas lineup for the 2019-20 NBA season.
The NBA season doesn’t really start in mind till Christmas in my mind since we have football season going on, so this is always a big day for the NBA. Woj announced today that we will be getting a few marquee match-ups this year.
New Orleans Pelicans vs. Denver Nuggets – This matchup will give us the #1 pick Zion Williamson vs elite big man Nikola Jokic
Boston Celtics vs. Toronto Raptors – Kemba Walker in his new Celtics uniform against the defending champs.
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Philadelphia Sixers – Your reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo will face off against Joel Embiid and the Sixers, in what could be the best two teams in the Eastern Conference.
Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors – Will this be an early playoff match-up preview? We get Harden and his new(old) teammate Russell Westbrook vs. Steph Curry and D’Angelo Russell in their new San Francisco Arena.
Finally…
LA Clippers vs. LA Lakers – The main event on Christmas will give us the two teams with the best Vegas odds to win the NBA Finals. We get to watch LeBron and Anthony Davis go back and forth with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George in the “Battle for LA”
