For Morant and the Grizzlies, this was a stage and a matchup they wanted. It’ll be Mavericks star Luka Doncic’s second Christmas game, after he and Dallas lost a road game to the Lakers in 2020. And the Lakers are appearing on Christmas for the 24th consecutive year. 25 record of 24-24, the most wins on the holiday in NBA history, one ahead of the Knicks. Before Giannis Antetokounmpo came along, the Bucks had played on Christmas only four times in their history. Fact: This is Boston’s 36th Christmas game, but only the fourth at home. They’ve dropped five of their last seven games, after a blistering 21-5 start to the season — but are coming off an impressive 121-109 win Friday over Minnesota. The NBA’s Christmas quintupleheader is Sunday, with the Grizzlies and Ja Morant set to play on Dec. If he plays and the Lakers win, it’ll be James’ 11th time walking off as a Christmas winner — another record for NBA players. If James plays, it’ll be his 17th Christmas appearance, which will break a tie with Kobe Bryant for the most in NBA history. And the defending NBA champions getting into the holiday game action. Like that matchup, the Bucks will be without Khris Middleton for Sunday’s matchup due to right knee soreness.
