Good morning. Happy Christmas Eve Eve. The Cleveland Cavaliers play basketball tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans. We’ll see if they can continue to build some momentum heading into Thursday’s matchup with the New York Knicks.

Today’s game of the day

  • Oklahoma City Thunder vs. San Antonio Spurs – 8:30 PM on ABC

I can’t in good conscious recommend a Cavs and Pelicans game when both teams are on the second end of a back-to-back. So instead, I’m going to highlight what could be the best budding rivalry in the league.

Victor Wembanyama doesn’t seem to like the Thunder and has played well against them. This includes the 22-point performance in their NBA Cup win over Oklahoma City two weeks ago.
