The New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers hook up for their Christmas Day matchup tipping off at 3 p.m. ET.
It's Kobe Bryant vs. Carmelo Anthony and don't day say it, but Raymond Felton has been playing at a Kevin Nash pace this season. For some reason, Felton steps up his game when he is in a Knicks' jersey.
So far this season, Felton has been able to guide the Knicks to a crazy hot 20-7 start to the 2012 season.
Things haven't gone the Lakers way so far this year, but they are bettering themselves winning four straight games after being five games under .500. Right now, they are 13-14 holding down the third seed in the Western Conference Pacific division.
These two squads met up less than two weeks ago and the Knicks knocked off Kobe and the Lakers 116-107 in Madison Square Garden.
This one is taking place in Staples Center and both teams are rocking their one-colored Christmas Day uniforms. The Knicks are wearing all orange, meanwhile the home team Lakers are in all white.
Also, a fashion statement being made in this game is Kobe's "Grinch-like" sneakers.
