After a tҺrilling in-season tournament, fans are even more pumped up for the NBA Christman Day games. Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett shared their game predictions on the most recent “Showtime Basketball” broadcast.
Christmas Day will see ten different teams go head-to-head. While the Warriors will take on the Nuggets of Denver, the Bucks of Milwaukee will take on the Knicks of New York. The Philadelphia 76ers take on the Miami Heat, and other notable teams include the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns.
It would be highly unlikely for the NBA to schedule a Christmas Day slate without LeBron James. The Los Angeles Lakers will face off against the Boston Celtics, their longtime adversary.
For two pivotal games, Paul Pierce picked the winners.
Pierce choose the Warriors over the Nuggets, and Steph Curry was the main reason.

Pierce, a former Celtic, opted to watch the Lakers (16-14) take on the 22-6 Celtics. Still, many people support Pierce’s decision. With a share of the top record in the NBA, Boston is clearly the superior squad.
Big Proclamation from Paul Pierce Ahead of NBA Christmas Day Games
Recent sightings of Paul Pierce inside the Boston Celtics’ practice facility have raised eyebrows. Saying he could still shoot is hardly exaggerating.
This past week on “The Ticket and The TrutҺ,” Pierce discussed his plans to return to the NBA in February. The Dallas Mavericks were mentioned as potential teams that the 46-year-old could join.
The Mavericks have expressed interest in signing Pierce to a 10-day deal, according to Pierce. Superstars Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, Pierce boasted, would have no trouble setting up his аttаck.
“The Dallas Mavericks have two guys who could create for me,” Pierce remarked, describing his ideal squad. I refuse to instigate my own crime. They’ll merge into the lane, and I’ll be ready for them with my arms wide open.
Pierce left the Los Angeles Clippers in 2017 to retire. Conversely, this season, Irving and Doncic are collaborating and have been mutually beneficial, in contrast to previous season. An average of 32.9 points and 9.1 assists per game are being tallied by Doncic. On a per-game basis, Irving is putting up 23 points and 5.2 assists.
The NBA 75th Anniversary team featured Pierce, widely regarded as one of the league’s all-time greats. Perhaps it would be wise to have him on the team, given that he was an NBA champion and a 10-time All-Star.
