Joel Embiid is coming into Christmas with a back injury that could potentially sideline him. For now he's expected to play.

Analysis

What looked like it could be a snooze fest in the preseason has turned into a fun matchup of future stars as long as Embiid plays. If he does, him going up against Kristaps Porzingis will certainly be a holiday treat.

News

Stephen Curry (ankle) will most likely miss the Christmas NBA Finals rematch against the Cavs.

Isaiah Thomas, while making progress, is not expected to play on Christmas Day either.

Analysis

This rematch will be fun thanks to name recognition. Yet with so many injuries and key players missing it won't set any kind of statement for the future like last year's Christmas Day game did.

This rivalry goes back into last season's playoff series. The Celtics roster might look different, but there's no way there isn't some resentment left over from their hot-blooded matchup.

The banged-up Rockets could be without a few names entering this one. Chris Paul had to leave the Lakers loss with knee soreness and they've been without Luc Mbah a Moute due to injury as well.

Analysis

The Thunder have started to turn their season around and Christmas would be the perfect time to make a statement. The Rockets have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA and, even with injuries, will be hard to stop.

The Lakers and Timberwolves have a chance to finish out Christmas Day strong. Even though Minnesota has a superior record, Los Angels is proving to be very competitive with just about anybody.
