Every year, the NBA aims to line up competitive, compelling matchups that fans can get excited about, and this year is no exception.

With conference-title favorites like the Cavaliers and Knicks squaring off, division rivals Minnesota and Denver meeting again, legends LeBron James and Kevin Durant going head-to-head, the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder taking on the Spurs, and of course, the big one we’re all talking about—Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks also taking the floor.

On Christmas Day, Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks will suit up to take on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

The tip-off is set for 5 p.m. EST on ABC and ESPN. This will also mark Flagg’s third game as a 19-year-old, since at that point, he would have just celebrated his birthday on December 21st.
