There are few certain things in life, and the Knicks that play on Christmas is one of them. But this time the planning makers hit a home run.
The Knicks will receive the Cavaliers in a December 25 tilt in the garden that is broadcast on ABC and ESPN.
The news was first reported by ESPN and confirmed by the post.
The matchup is a savory, with the Knicks and Cavaliers who are expected to compete a lot for a berth in the NBA final. This can be a holiday preview.
With Achilles injuries that Indiana, Boston and Milwaukee have decimated, the Knicks (who lost from the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals) and Cleveland (who were an eastern 64-18) are the gambling favorites to benefit.
The tilt of the Knicks against the Cavaliers will head a Hoop QuintupleHeader.
Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs play with the reigning champion Thunder, and then Kevin Durant and the Rockets will play at LeBron James and the Lakers.
Super-Rookie Cooper Flagg and the Mavericks play at Steph Curry and the Warriors, with the final Anthony Edwards’ Timberwolves playing against Nikola Jokic’s Nuggets.
The Knicks played more on Christmas Day than any other NBA team, with this set to become their 58th outing.
So far they are 25-32, after beating the Spurs 117-114 in the garden last season.
