That’s part of a slate that includes:
- Clippers vs. Lakers
- Rockets at Warriors
- Pelicans at Nuggets
- Celtics at Raptors
I don’t see a reported time anywhere yet, though it looks like the Sixers will be one of the first two games played since three take place in the Mountain and Pacific time zones. So maybe it’s Sixers/Bucks, then Raptors/Celtics, or vice versa, then the three western conference games to follow. Would make sense to do it that way.
Pretty exciting, though. The Sixers have played two seasons in a row on Christmas Day (at New York and at Boston), but getting a home game this time around should be a banger.
