Paul George and Kawhi Leonard will face off against the Los Angeles Lakers

Following a busy summer, the 19-20 season is quickly approaching, and reports from Adrian Wojnarowski, Malika Andrews, and Tim MacMahon, all from ESPN, combined to give us the much anticipated Christmas schedule. As always, a number of matchups stand out, although the clash between the Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers is unlikely to be upstaged.

The Los Angeles rivals enter the season among the favorites to capture a championship, and fans will get the chance to see the likes of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Paul George, and Kawhi Leonard.

Meanwhile, the Celtics will travel North to take on the reigning champions in the Toronto Raptors, while Russell Westbrook and James Harden will face off against Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. The Greek Freak will also be in action as the Bucks travel to Philadelphia, and in the most surprising matchup, the Nuggets will host the Pelicans.
