An NBA Christmas: 1 thing every team should have atop their holiday wishlist

Oklahoma City Thunder

Christmas wishlist: A hot streak in 2023 

The Oklahoma City Thunder are still a year or two away from being a real player in the Western Conference but there is one thing that the team could hope for heading into the future – and that’s somewhat of a hot streak during the 2023 calendar year portion of the season.

If the Thunder can carry any level of momentum after this season into the offseason, it will only raise the hype around this young team heading into the future.

Orlando Magic

Christmas wishlist: Continued consistency from Paolo Banchero

The Orlando Magic entered this season with hopes that it had found its next face of the franchise in Paolo Banchero. And that’s exactly what has happened so far this season. For this holiday season, the Magic should be hoping for continued consistency from their rookie.

Banchero needs to improve his 3-point shooting and if he can do that for the remainder of the season, this is a Magic team that could surprise some teams next season.
