The New York Knicks are preparing for their fourth consecutive Christmas Day game and hope to end the holiday with their second consecutive win after beating the Bucks last year.

The NBA switched things up this year. New York will host Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs rather than play against an Eastern Conference opponent. The last time the Knicks played a Western Conference opponent on Dec. 25 was in 2013 against the Thunder. The league wanted Wembanyama to play his first Christmas Day game in The World's Most Famous Arena.
