Hawks vs. Knicks, 12:00PM (EST)

CARDIAC KEMBA! The transformation of Kemba Walker in the last three games since being granted a reprieve has been nothing short of extraordinary. In fact, if it continues, it could be one of the stories of the season. The Knicks PG took things up a notch on Thursday with a pulsating 44-point performance against the Wizards. Walker has always been one of those guys that gets on a streak and lights it up for a period of time. With New York still experiencing a shortage of players, there's no reason that we can't expect him to get close to 40 minutes of game time again with a tiny line on offer considering he's been averaging 31 points over his last 3 games.

BET: Kemba Walker OVER 20.5 points (Best odds +100)

Celtics vs. Bucks, 2:30PM (EST)

Jayson Tatum is in a mini-shooting slump at the moment, going at less than 40% from the field in each of his last 3 games. That bad shooting extends to beyond the range, too, where he has only made a total of 2 three-pointers over his last 2 games. We're getting plus money to hit the under on his 2.5 three-point prop against the Bucks, a figure he has failed to reach in 57% of his games this year. The value is too good to pass up.

BET: Jayson Tatum UNDER 2.5 threes (Best odds +115)

Warriors vs. Suns, 5:00PM (EST)

Maybe it's too much Christmas Eve turkey, maybe it's just plain bad luck - but Steph Curry sucks on Christmas. The Chef averages just 13.1 PPG in 8 total games played on December 25 over his career, and that trend might continue against the Suns - a team he hasn't scored 30 against since 2018. Already in 2 meetings against Phoenix this season, the MVP frontrunner has only accumulated point tallies of 12 and 23. Sorry, we're fading.

BET: Steph Curry UNDER 30.5 points (Best odds -110)

Nets vs. Lakers, 8:00PM (EST)

The LA Lakers are literally LeBron James right now. The King has been doing all of the heavy lifting for the Purple and Gold over the past couple of weeks, hitting well above 30 points in each of his last 3 games. James is fired up and always performs well on the day of St. Nick. This looks good for an Over.

BET: LeBron James OVER 29.5 points (Best odds +100)

Mavericks vs. Jazz, 10:30PM (EST)

Donovan Mitchell has maintained a high quality of play for the Jazz over the course of the season and is in some superb recent form as they host Dallas to round out the Christmas slate. His points prop line is set at 25.5 points - a figure he has surpassed in 5 of his last 6 games. There's every chance that trend continues.

BET: Donovan Mitchell OVER 25.5 points (Best odds -120)
