The NBA has yet to finalize its slate of games for the upcoming season, but according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, an unofficial internal schedule has LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers heading to Miami on Christmas day to face the Heat.

The game will air on ABC and is likely to be played at either 2:30 p.m. or 5 p.m., Jackson adds. It would be the sixth consecutive year the Heat have played a Christmas game, and their first time facing James at home since he signed a signed a two-year deal with the Cavs earlier this month.

Cleveland and Miami will meet on Oct. 11 in Rio de Janeiro as part of the NBA's Global Games Rio 2014.
