Presents, and Perhaps Lumps of Coal, Await Fans Under NBA Christmas Tree

Filed under: , , , , , , , , , ,

Two scintillating undercards will greet NBA fans on Christmas Day. As for the overcards, if that's what they're called, they're not as good.

Before Miami faces the Lakers at the Staples Center in the epic matchup of the five Saturday games, Chicago plays at New York and Boston is at Orlando.

After the Heat-Lakers game, it's Denver at Oklahoma City and Portland at Golden State. The game between the Northwest Division contenders lost a lot of luster when Denver forward Carmelo Anthony was ruled out due to the recent death of his sister. The game between the Trail Blazers and Warriors never had any luster.

The Christmas extravaganza tips off at noon EST on ESPN with Bulls power forward Carlos Boozer matched against Knicks power forward Amar'e Stoudemire. They were top free agents last summer who bolted from the West to the East, highlighting what many believed would be a shift in conference supremacy.

That hasn't happened since the West is still dominant over the East, which still doesn't have much depth. But the Bulls, who are 18-9 with Boozer averaging 19.1 points and 8.4 rebounds, and the Knicks, who are 17-12 with Stoudemire averaging 26.4 and 9.3, have been by no means disappointments.
