I think you're probably bang on with the 3rd game. LeBron vs GSW in the middle of the day game on both coasts.
Boston for sure gets a game. NY almost for sure gets a game (NYK have been on Christmas 52 times, 9 times more than the next most appearances, by the Lakers). I think they do if they expect Porzingis to be playing. Philly very likely gets one. Other East teams are all up in the air. Weak looking conference again. Teams like Toronto, Milwaukee and Indiana might have a better chance than normal. They could cop out and just pick another big market anyway, like Chicago.
Houston is almost for sure getting one given how good they are. Just not obvious who their opponent would be. OKC, Denver, Portland, Utah....I could see lots of West teams getting a shot. I could also see NOP getting a game with Davis' appeal.
Now that I think of it, even though I still think LeBron vs GSW is very likely going to be on, maybe they split that up to get LA and the bay area on at different times, because there aren't a lot of big market teams looking very good.
