The NBA’s Christmas Day schedule for the 2019-20 season was leaked on Friday, and it will include the first ever December 25th game at the Chase Center, the Warriors’ new home in San Francisco. Golden State will face off vs. the Houston Rockets. It will be the first time the Warriors haven’t played vs. LeBron James on Christmas since 2014.

The retooled Clippers will face the Lakers at Staples Center in the day’s marquee matchup. Zion Williamson and the Pelicans will face the Nuggets, and Boston will face Toronto in Canada in a matchup of teams who lost their stars this offseason. The Bucks and Sixers will also face off in what could very well be an Eastern Conference Finals preview.
The Warriors are 12-16 all time on Christmas Day. They were blown out by the Lakers last season 127-101 at Oracle Arena.
