Time: 3 p.m.

Where to watch: ABC

Why it matters: This isn’t the only Christmas Day game on the schedule, but it is the most compelling. After memorable Finals battles in 2015 and 2016, the Warriors zoomed past the Cavaliers this past spring, trouncing them 4-1. As with all their games, Golden State will be favored, but don’t underestimate Cleveland’s desire to pull out a statement win.
