Tis the season to be an NBA fan.
Christmas has finally arrived, and one of the most superstar-laden days of the year is officially underway. The 2013-14 campaign has been full of surprises, and while they haven't all been merry, they've each contributed to the narrative we've encountered thus far.
Entering the 2013 holiday lineup, a number of games lack the luster they had when the schedule was released. The injury bug has been a real Scrooge this season, and as a result, the mystique surrounding teams like the Brooklyn Nets and Chicago Bulls is all but gone for the casual viewer.
But while a number of teams have disappointed, don't consider this year's lineup a lump of coal. Kevin Durant and LeBron James will take the court back-to-back on ABC, and then James Harden and Chris Paul will do the same on ESPN.
Finding time to catch each contest can be difficult amid family gatherings, but that's why we here at Bleacher Report have got you covered. The most enthusiastic of fans will watch all five games, but if that's not an option, you'll need a guide to the most watchable matchups.
Not every game has the intrigue of another, but all should be entertaining in their own right. Christmas Day is a time to be thankful for what we have, so forget about Kobe Bryant and Derrick Rose—this one is about good basketball being played on one of the most cheerful days of the season.
