As NBA All-Star voting continues, Austin Reaves has put himself firmly in the conversation with a breakout season. He is averaging 27.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, standing out as one of the league’s top guards and a fan favourite.

Pregame analysis and predictions of the Houston Rockets vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA game to be played on December 25, 2025 on ESPN.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Dončić may only miss one game with his leg injury, according to NBA insider Dave McMenamin of ESPN. Dončić won’t play against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday (12/23), but he could face the Houston Rockets on Christmas (12/25).

Kawhi Leonard scored a season-high 32 points, leading the slumping Los Angeles Clippers to a 103-88 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Luka Dončić had 45 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds in his fifth triple-double of the season, and the Los Angeles Lakers used a big fourth quarter to top the Utah Jazz 143-135 on Thursday night.

The Los Angeles Lakers were hammered 132-108 by the Phoenix Suns at the Mortgage Matchup Center on Tuesday. This was the second time this season that the Suns had blown out the Lakers, having won 125-108 when the teams first met on Dec.

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic is the most-viewed player across NBA social media with Austin Reaves and LeBron James in the top 10.

In four head-to-head matchups with Durant on Christmas, LeBron James has averaged 40.3 PRA, posting totals of 32, 35, 46, and 48. In 19 career Christmas games, James has averaged 41.4 PRA, and he’s gone for at least 32 in all but one. This may be King James’ final Christmas contest, so I expect him to show out.
