It fits together perfectly. The nets play the Celtics at 5 p.m.. m. on Christmas Day in Boston, part of the ESPN extravaganza.

Kyrie Irving is back at TD Garden for the first time since leaving Brooklyn. Kevin Durant’s first big game on the national stage since his injury. Steve Nash too. (Maybe the only thing bigger would be if the warriors came to the Barclays Center three days earlier . . . more about that in a moment. )

Of course, only the teams that are likely to be among the best in the league have a chance to play at Christmas . . . Especially those with the biggest stars and the networks have two of them in KD and Kyrie.

The Nets haven’t played at Christmas since 2013 when they lost to the Cops (95-78) at the Barclays Center in what has been labeled a nationally televised embarrassment.

And what about the opening night three days ago? Yes, there are rumors of a match between the Nets and Warriors at the Barclays Center. Kevin Durant vs.. . Steph Curry (and Draymond Green) with literally all over the world watching.

Anthony Slater, the Beatwriter for the Athletic Golden State, believes he is seeing a clue to the opening night of the Warriors’ Christmas Day match-up with the Bucks in Milwaukee.
