Christmas is here, and we're looking at all of the NBA Christmas Day odds to accompany our betting guide for Wednesday's five-game slate in the association.

Our best NBA betting sites have NBA Christmas Day odds posted well in advance of the big day. The NBA odds will continue to shift over the next few weeks based on in-season results and player injuries. Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker is among the most notable absences on Wednesday, and that flipped the early line to make the Denver Nuggets road favorites in Phoenix.

Esten's previous stops include the USA TODAY network, including GolfWeek. He previously worked in the fantasy sports industry, with FNTSY Sports Network, theScore, and USA TODAY. Esten graduated from the College of Sports Media with a diploma in Radio and Television Sports Broadcasting after acquiring a degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Guelph. He has appeared on FNTSY Sports Network, VSiN, and VSiN's Long Shots podcast, where he correctly called Will Zalatoris as the winner of the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship. Esten is a big proponent of the entertainment side of sports betting and loves to dip his toes into the novelty and alt-markets while chasing long shots with reduced wagers on golf outrights and futures markets. He's also been known to sprinkle some lunch money on touchdown-scorer parlays with two notable hits still funding his bankroll. Esten looks at sports betting much like golf and advises beginner bettors to compete against themselves rather than being concerned with what others may or may not be doing based on social media claims.
