For the first time in three years, the Miami Heat will be included in the NBA’s Christmas Day showcase and will be featured in other national slots that suggest trading for Damian Lillard is a possibility.
The Heat will host the Philadelphia 76ers at Kaseya Center on Christmas Day, according to multiple reports. It is one of five games scheduled on the NBA’s signature event, which also includes the Milwaukee Bucks at New York Knicks, Boston Celtics at Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks at Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors at Denver Nuggets.
Games are televised on either ABC or ESPN, with start times staggered throughout the day at noon, 2:30 p.
