Few things in sports are better than a full slate on a holiday. Baseball has the Fourth of July; football has Thanksgiving. These are great, but nothing compares to the NBA on Christmas Day. With the slate roughly a month away, books have started to release betting lines for the games. This presents a rare opportunity for some phenomenal closing line value.
