The Minnesota Timberwolves travel to the Dallas Mavericks for a rematch of the Western Conference finals, and it promises to be an exciting showdown. On Christmas Day, fans will also witness a classic Eastern Conference rivalry as the Philadelphia 76ers face the reigning champions Boston Celtics at TD Garden.
