Scott PolacekDec 23, 2018

The NBA will take center stage in the sports world on Christmas Day, and OddsShark shared the latest point spreads and over/unders from SuperBook USA for Tuesday's slate of five games.

The showdown between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers is the marquee game, and the two-time defending champions are nine-point favorites over LeBron James and Co. The Warriors faced James in the last four NBA Finals when he was a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, winning three of them.

There will be no shortage of star power in action across the league on Christmas outside of just the clash between Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and the Warriors and James and the Lakers.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are 10-point favorites over the New York Knicks, James Harden and the Houston Rockets are 1.5-point favorites over Russell Westbrook, Paul George and the Oklahoma City Thunder, Kyrie Irving and the Boston Celtics are 3.5-point favorites over Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers, and Donovan Mitchell and the Utah Jazz are six-point favorites over Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers.

Tuesday will mark the first matchup between the Lakers and Warriors in what could be a postseason preview. The mighty Warriors have been forced to deal with James in each of the last four postseasons and would have to do so before the Finals this time since they share a conference. The Christmas battle will give fans the chance to see how they approach defending him with new teammates in the supporting role.

The closest spread is the game between Harden and his former team in another potential playoff preview.

Oklahoma City won the first game by 18 points and was playing without the injured Westbrook. It will look to replicate its performance and widen its lead over the Rockets in the Western Conference playoff picture.
