Jalen Brunson, New York Knicks
Jalen Brunson has formed into a star of his own since coming to New York. It’s safe to say that the Knicks made a good move by bringing the playmaker over from Dallas in free agency. Brunson is in the midst of a career year averaging 25.3 points and 5.9 assists. And on Christmas Day, he’ll have a shot to show that teams shouldn’t sleep on the Knicks in their matchup with the Bucks.
The Top 10 NBA Stars to Feast Your Eyes On This Christmas
The NBA has a full day of games lined up for Christmas Day. With some of the best teams in the league set to play, the top talent in the league will be on full display. Looking ahead, here are the top 10 NBA stars that will be in action on Monday.
LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers
LeBron James is in his 21st season in the NBA and hasn’t slowed down a bit. The 38-year-old has put up countless big-time performances when the bright lights are on, and on Christmas Day, the lights will be out. With the Lakers looking to represent their franchise and get back to their winning ways, look for LeBron to lead the charge with a big game on Monday as the historic rivalry with the Celtics continues.
Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks
Luka Doncic has been a top talent since entering the league as a rookie. The Mavericks star is notorious for putting up memorable performances in big games. And with what could be a preview of a Western Conference Finals matchup against the Suns, expect Doncic to have a big game as the Mavs look to steal one on the road.
Steph Curry, Golden State Warriors
Stephen Curry almost needs no explanation for being on this list. The 2X MVP shows up in big games, and what bigger game than playing the reigning champs on Christmas day? With the Warriors looking to prove that their core still has what it takes to compete, Curry and the Dubs will have a big test against a well-rounded Nuggets team.
Joel Embiid, Philadelphia 76ers
Joel Embiid entered the year as the reigning MVP of the league. The Sixers star carried over his impressive play into this season, where he’s arguably playing the best basketball of his career. Averaging 35.0 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game on the season, Embiid looks like an unstoppable force. The seven-foot playmaker will look to continue his strong play in an eastern conference battle with the Heat.
Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets
Nikola Jokic has arguably been one of the most dominant players in the last couple of seasons. The big man may not be a flashy player, but with his skill set and high basketball IQ, he is the main reason behind the Nuggets success. And with Stephen Curry coming into town, a duel between two former MVPs will bring out the best in each player.
Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics
Since entering the league, Jayson Tatum has fully embraced the Celtic culture and taken pride in every battle against the Lakers. Looking to carry on the historic rivalry, Boston's star will lead a loaded squad into battle against LA on Monday. And following the 25-year-old’s 41-point game on Christmas last year, expect Tatum to try and top it this year.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks
It’s no secret that Giannis Antetokoumpo is one of the most unstoppable talents in the league. The Bucks leader can easily impact a game on both ends of the floor, whether it be defensively or offensively. But with a 64-point game already under his belt this season, Antetokounmpo could be set for another big-time performance against the Knicks.
Kevin Durant, Phoenix Suns
Kevin Durant and the Suns have been struggling the last few weeks with injuries to the roster. And with the team’s lack of consistency, it’s been hard to gauge just how good Phoenix can be. However, the most consistent thing the Suns have had is Durant. The skilled scorer is averaging 30.9 points per game this season, and with Phoenix looking to defend home court, it all starts with KD.
Damian Lillard, Milwaukee Bucks
Damian Lillard was the main topic this offseason after his trade request out of Portland. And although the superstar may not have landed where he wanted, Lillard has started to gel with Antetokounmpo after a slow start in Milwaukee. Now, with the Bucks firing on all cylinders, the point guard has a chance to show just how good his addition can make his new team.
Jalen Brunson, New York Knicks
Jalen Brunson has formed into a star of his own since coming to New York. It’s safe to say that the Knicks made a good move by bringing the playmaker over from Dallas in free agency. Brunson is in the midst of a career year averaging 25.3 points and 5.9 assists. And on Christmas Day, he’ll have a shot to show that teams shouldn’t sleep on the Knicks in their matchup with the Bucks.
