In 2012, the NBA used single-color jerseys on Christmas. Teams wore sleeved jerseys on Christmas last year, which were met with mixed reviews from players and fans alike.

The league's Christmas schedule begins with the Wizards taking on the Knicks, followed by Spurs vs. Thunder, Cavaliers vs. Heat and Lakers vs. Bulls. The Clippers and the Warriors play in the final game of the day.
