Here are the three big games you should follow…
NBA live stream – Christmas Day games
Knicks vs Bucks – Christmas Day at 17:00 GMT
The Bucks are racing in the Eastern Conference right now and will head to New York full of confidence. A smashing 114-102 win at the Cavaliers last weekend set them up nicely for a three-game winning streak they will hope to take into their trip of the Eastern coast.
The Knicks and Bucks play each other home and away this month and on Christmas Day New York will be abuzz for the game. It’s hard to see the Knicks winning this one, however. They are locked in a three-game losing streak heading into the pre-Christmas weekend and that includes a loss to the Suns!

Their one glimmer of hope is that they beat the Bucks 136-134 on December 1. But Milwaukee will not be so loose defensively this time and they are set to win here.
Celtics vs 76ers – Christmas Day at 22:30 GMT
Boston will be watching the Bucks hoping for an upset in New York, before themselves playing on Christmas Day. The Celtics have dramatically fallen off the pace in recent weeks and their early-season promise has faded. It would be a major disappointment if this talented young side did not make the playoffs. But they need to start winning games.
Boston’s game with the 76ers is therefore crucial. Philadelphia have turned heads all season and could end 2018 top of the Eastern Conference. Now, they were stuffed 105-87 by the Celtics on the first game of the season but the 76ers have come a long way in that short amount of time.
Back both teams to go over 110 points on Christmas day in what should be a thrilling game.
Warriors vs Lakers – Boxing Day at 01:00 GMT
Make sure you don’t fall asleep too early at Christmas! The best game of the day actually comes past midnight for UK basketball live stream and betting fans. Watch and bet on the Warriors vs Lakers and you shouldn’t be disappointed. This is set to be a cracker, between LeBron James’ new side and the rivals he faced in the NBA Finals so many times with the Cavs.
Both Los Angeles and Golden State have stuttered in the week running up to Christmas. Denver’s emphatic run of form has seen them take a stranglehold on the Western Conference and the Thunder are going well too.
All eyes will be on James and his is a good bet to be the top points scorer on Christmas Day. Its worth bearing in mind that the Lakers beat the Warriors TWICE during pre-season. This is a mouthwatering fixture between two teams who prioritise offence. So both teams to shoot over 115 points seems a good bet.
