It will be a Merry Grizzmas for the Dubs as they host the Memphis Grizzlies on Christmas Day, marking the first meeting between the two clubs since the gritty Western Conference Semifinals showdown. However, the rivalry between teams started way before the 2022 Playoffs, with the Grizzlies previously depriving the Dubs of a playoff berth in 2021. Then, in a 104-101 overtime defeat, the Grizzlies handed the Warriors their first loss of the 2021-22 season. The tension between the two teams were at all-time high by the time the Western Conference Semifinals series took place, with All-Star Ja Morant exiting Game 3 of the series due to a season-ending injury. Morant averaged 27.1 points, 8.0 rebounds and 9.8 assists in nine games played in the 2022 postseason. In addition to their established core, the Memphis Grizzlies used the 2022 NBA Draft to add three new players to their roster:  Walker Kessler (Auburn), TyTy Washington Jr. (Kentucky) and Vince Williams Jr.  (VCU). The Warriors-Grizzlies duel will serve as the first-ever Christmas Day game in Grizzlies history and the holiday hoops showdown we’ve all been waiting for.

Entering the 2022-23 campaign, the Hawks have made a headlining off-season transaction by acquiring 2022 All-Star guard Dejonte Murray to pair with Atlanta guard Trae Young. The result could breed one of the most dynamic backcourts in the league.

Home: Jan. 7

Away: Nov. 3 

Notable Returners: Cole Anthony, Jalen Suggs 

Notable Additions: Paolo Banchero

Though the Orlando Magic are coming off the worst record in the East (22-60), the Magic are looking to turn things around after selecting Paolo Banchero with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.

Three-time NBA All-Star Devin Booker led the Suns in the postseason, averaging a team-high 23.3 points per game, while veteran point guard Chris Paul posted 17.5 points in 13 games played.

It will be a Western Conference Finals rematch as the Warriors and Dallas Mavericks meet in the 2022-23 campaign. And while the Dubs took the series (4-1) to advance to the NBA Finals, three-time All-Star Luka Doncic did not make it easy, posting 40-plus points in back-to-back games. Doncic led the Mavericks through postseason play, averaging 31.7 points, 9.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists. Over the summer, Christian Wood was was traded from the Houston Rockets to the Mavericks, with the center averaging 17.9 points and 10.1 rebounds in the 2021-22 regular season.

A three-time Defensive Player of the Year, Gobert will team up with notable returners Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell.

Milwaukee Bucks 

Warriors vs. Bucks   

Home: March 11 

Away: Dec. 13 

Notable Returners: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday 

Notable Additions: MarJon Beauchamp

It will be a duel between the last two championship teams as the Dubs face off against the Milwaukee Bucks. And while Milwaukee made a push in the 2022 postseason despite Khris Middleton suffering a left knee injury in the first round, the Bucks were halted by the Boston Celtics in a seven-game Eastern Conference Semifinals series. Through the postseason, 2021 NBA Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks averaging a playoff career-high 31.7 points per game, and he followed that up with a dominant stretch playing for the Greek National Team this summer. Moreover, with the No. 24 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, the Bucks selected NBA G League Ignite’s MarJon Beauchamp. With their new addition along with the return of a healthy Khris Middleton, there’s a lot of potential for the full-strength Bucks.

There’s plenty to look forward to as the Dubs prepare to tip-off their 2022-23 NBA season.
