A captivating contest awaits us on this very exciting Christmas Day edition of the NBA as two talented NBA teams from the Eastern Conference face-off. Defending NBA Champions Milwaukee Bucks will battle it out against the Boston Celtics at home on Saturday.
The Milwaukee Bucks' defence of the NBA title has been marred by injury problems and COVID-19 related issues so far. But when fully fit, this team has shown just how dangerous it can be. The Bucks are currently third in the Eastern Conference standings and go into the Christmas Day clash on the back of a two-game winning run. They will be hoping to be further boosted on Saturday with the return of Giannis Antetokounmpo. But it remains to be seen if the superstar will be available, having missed the last five games due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
The Boston Celtics claimed an impressive win over the Cleveland Cavaliers to move into eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings in their last game. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are finding some good form. But the Celtics have a number of players sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols. The Celtics did beat the Bucks when the two sides met earlier this month. Their aim will be to pull off another upset on Christmas Day.
The game will be nationally televised in the United States on ABC. Fans can also watch the game on the go with a live stream available on fuboTV.
