While the NBA world waits for the full 2022-23 schedule, the Christmas Day slate for the coming slate appears to have leaked per Shams Charania and will not feature the Atlanta Hawks. Last season, the Hawks played the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden on Christmas despite not having several regulars due to Covid protocols.
Per Charania, this year’s slate will feature five games per usual on Christmas, as listed below. Only two of the games feature Eastern Conference teams.
