NBA Christmas Day Preview

Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers

Steph Curry and Kevin Durant

The Main Event on Christmas and the matchup we are all looking forward to, as the Lakers led by LeBron James take on the Golden State Warriors. We usually have the two teams who made it to the NBA Finals playing against each other on Christmas, but the NBA decided that it should be LeBron and the Lakers facing the Warriors and not the lowly Cavs. James will face the Warriors for the 4th year in a row and has managed to win one of the previous encounters. Last year, Golden State won despite Steph Curry's absence thanks to Kevin Durant getting it done on both ends of the floor. They do have Curry this time and he's coming off a 42 Point night in a close win over the Clippers. The Lakers, on the other hand, are stumbling and have lost 3 out of their last 4, most recently losing to the Grizzlies who were on a 5 game losing streak. Considering the circumstances I'd have to go with a Warriors win in Oracle, but expect James to ball out like he always does against Golden State.
