The New York Knicks will host the Milwaukee Bucks for the first game of the NBA Christmas Day schedule, according to multiple reports from the States.

Giannis Antetokounmpo returns to Madison Square Garden, where he made his iconic dunk last season. The Bucks will play on the holiday for the first time since 1977. It is unclear whether Knicks All-Star Kristaps Porzingis will be available for the Christmas Day game. He is currently rehabbing a torn ACL. Porzingis suffered the ACL tear in an early February game against the Bucks.

On the same day, LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers will face the defending champion Golden State Warriors. the Philadelphia 76ers will visit Kyrie Irving, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics, the Utah Jazz will host the Portland Trail Blazers and the Oklahoma City Thunder will visit the Houston Rockets.
