NBA: All eyes on Celtics-Magic, Cavs-Lakers

The NBA has served up an almighty feast for Christmas Day with the big guns out in force.

Among the five games set to grip viewers, two stand out as unmissable. First, Kevin Garnett and the Boston Celtics travel to Orlando. The Magic won in Boston earlier in the season and the 2008 champs will be on a revenge mission.

Orlando have Jameer Nelson back from injury but Boston have the more complete line-up and should edge it.

Then the main event follows as LeBron James and Kobe Bryant go head-to-head. The Cavs are putting early struggles behind them and James is on a tear but the Lakers have been top dogs in the West so far.

Kobe, who will also be squaring off against former team-mate Shaquille O'Neal, is getting solid support from Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol and the Lakers should take the honors in this one.

With Denver and Portland contesting the late game, NBA fans are in for an exciting day.
