As December unfolds, the NBA season heats up, and fans are clamoring to see their favorite teams in action. To uncover the hottest NBA tickets this month, we’ve analyzed sales data from Ticket Club member orders, identifying the must-watch games for the rest of the month, along with some broader trends that define this exciting stretch of the season.

One clear takeaway from the data is the enduring popularity of powerhouse franchises like the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks. TD Garden and Madison Square Garden are leading the way in sales, with multiple games from both venues landing in the top tier of demand. The Celtics, in particular, are dominating sales rankings, with three games in December ranking among the hottest tickets. This reflects not only Boston’s fervent fan base but also the team’s strong position in the Eastern Conference standings.

Holiday matchups are also creating a buzz, as Christmas Day games consistently draw high interest. The Knicks and Celtics both host marquee matchups on December 25, blending the joy of the season with high-stakes basketball. Beyond these traditional powerhouses, intriguing storylines like the NBA Cup finals in Las Vegas and key Western Conference battles—like the Kings hosting the Lakers—are keeping fans engaged across the league.
