Episode Details

NBA Christmas Day 2026 is set without the Phoenix Suns, who’ve been regulars since 2021 but sit this one out after missing last year—despite their storied 13-22 record since 1968. The star-studded slate features Spurs vs Knicks, Heat vs Celtics, Sixers vs Lakers, Thunder vs Timberwolves, and Nuggets vs Warriors, prioritizing global icons over playoff pedigree. Some players even cherish the tradition, recalling childhood memories of watching these games. While the Suns’ recent holiday run hasn’t been stellar (just 2 wins in last 9), they still have big November matchups against Golden State and the Lakers. For fans, it’s always a festive showdown—and this year’s lineup doesn’t disappoint.
