What games to you think the league puts out on Christmas?

Opening Night?
If opening night is the 22nd they can have those teams play again on Xmas. Figure the Lakers will raise banner on opening night. They usually have one of the top picks playing too that night. Lakers will def play Xmas too.

I feel like the champs don’t usually get a championship level contender opponent on banner night, I could see the Lakers playing the Pelicans opening night to hype Zion. And if I remember correctly they always try to have the #1 pick play on opening night, but shyt, the Twolves opening night? I dunno. My guess is Nets/Bucks or Celtics first game on east coast. Pels/ Lakers late game. Maybe Twolves and a random team starting around same time as the east coast game.

I'm not even sure that the 1st pick this year factors in. Kind of reminds me when the cavs had it and we took bennet we didn't get tv the opening night....I think that only applies when it's a top pick who people are excited about.

In recent years the #1 pick's team plays the #2 pick's team on opening night
