The Milwaukee Bucks are one of the most exciting teams in the NBA and will get a chance to showcase their talent to a national audience when they visit the New York Knicks on Christmas Day. The Bucks lead the NBA in scoring (116.9 points) and sit in second place in the East despite an uncharacteristic performance in a loss at Miami on Saturday.

The Houston Rockets look to record their seventh victory in the past eight games when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Christmas Day. The Rockets can move a season-best three games over .500 with a win against the Thunder, who own the third-best record in the Western Conference.

The Philadelphia 76ers continue to dominate on their home floor while sometimes struggling for success on the road, a trend that began with an 18-point loss at Boston to begin the season. The Sixers hope some holiday spirit will lift them in a return trip to TD Garden to take on the host Celtics on Christmas Day.

The Golden State Warriors have gotten used to playing against Lebron James on Christmas Day, but this time he'll be in a different uniform. The Warriors will try to get the better of James for the second straight time on Christmas when they host the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday.

The Utah Jazz just handed the Portland Trail Blazers their worst home loss since 2004. Portland will look to avenge that 30-point setback when it visits the Jazz on Christmas night in Salt Lake City.
