The NBA schedule is starting to recalibrate and we once again have a nice run of days with a legitimately full schedule. The only thing keeping it from being a truly normal week is a zero-game on Tuesday, with the league giving everyone a day off for Christmas Eve. It has been a very strange month, schedule-wise, but things are going to level out soon enough, and this week has enough four-game weeks that you can go back to your typical tricks in terms of streaming and actually counting on your studs to get enough games to matter.

There are some teams with intriguing schedule potential though, and we’ll get to them after the jump. Before that, just want to wish everyone a fantastic holiday season. Enjoy your time (hopefully off work) and relax a little bit.
