Last season, the Warriors took on the Los Angeles Clippers in Southern California as the night cap. It would be nice to see the Warriors get a home game for the fans to take in the experience. Fans can also expect to the see the Warriors in a unique Christmas Day jersey.
The NBA understands the importance of scheduling on the holiday. With a ton of casual fans tuning in, they want to create a slate of exciting matches to highlight their top athletes. The Miami Herald has already reported the Miami Heat and New Orleans Pelicans game. At this time, the games are not 100% concrete since the league has the right to make changes before the scheduled is released but this matchup would be too juicy for the league to pass up.
