**NEW YORK, NY** – The NBA’s Christmas Day games delivered a thrilling spectacle, impacting fantasy leagues significantly. Close games and standout performances resulted in eight players exceeding 50 fantasy points. Victor Wembanyama led the charge with 80.6 fantasy points in the Knicks’ victory over the Spurs, while Mikal Bridges (60.2 points) and Tyrese Maxey (64.8 points) also had exceptional showings. LeBron James (58.8 points) and Jayson Tatum (59.0 points) rounded out the top five fantasy performers of the day.
