Predicting the 2022 NBA Christmas Day slate. 

At least for now, there’s no guarantee when the 2022-23 NBA schedule will be released, but the expectation is that it could come either this week or next. The NBA’s Christmas Day slate is one of the most anticipated nationally scheduled days of the season. It’s no surprise that it’s the one day that NBA fans want to see their team scheduled.

Although, the reality is that not every team makes the cut for the NBA’s Christmas Day slate. Often, to be able to get an invite, there has to be either an extremely compelling storyline attached to a specific team or they have to be one of the contenders in the Western or Eastern Conference.

In an attempt to add some spice to the offseason, we decided to try and predict the five NBA Christmas Day games that will be scheduled for the 2022-23 season. Unfortunately, we only went 1-5 in our predictions last season. Will we have better luck this time around?
