The 10 NBA teams with games scheduled on Christmas were told by the league body on Tuesday that shifting some game times is a possibility for the planned five-game slated, if virus-related issues force changes to the lineup. The league told the teams the priority is filling the ABC windows for Saturday’s games, which means the slots at 2:30 p.m., 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern.
For now, those games, in order, would have Boston at Milwaukee, Golden State at Phoenix and Brooklyn at the Los Angeles Lakers. The other games on the Christmas schedule are Atlanta at New York at noon Eastern, and Dallas at Utah at 10:30 p.m. Eastern. The league called the notion of shifting game times which might happen if a game is postponed a contingency plan in the memo distributed to the teams involved.
