Both teams shine brightest on their home court. With this Christmas Day game being played at Chase Center, the Warriors will hold a solid edge as hosts. The Mericks are hovering around .500 at home but he struggled mightily on the road (with a poor away mark and a string of recent losses away from Dallas), while the Warriors boast a much stronger record in San Francisco compared to their road woes. This matchup feels lopsided right now, especially with Dallas hampered by a slew of key injuries—including major absences like Kyrie Irving (out with a knee issue) and others day-to-day or sidelined—leing their lineup depleted.
Fresh off a thrilling home win over the Nuggets (somehow they he Denver's number), the Ms are desperate to snap their ongoing road skid. But the Warriors? They're coming in motivated and angry after dropping their last Christmas Day game, riding high from a dominant 23-point blowout victory over the Orlando Magic in their most recent outing (120-97, powered by Stephen Curry's second-half explosion and Jimmy Butler's scoring punch). The Warriors won the fourth quarter 31-14! Expect Golden State to channel that energy into a commanding performance—they're poised to dominate and hand the shorthanded Mericks a decisive Christmas Day defeat. Lay the points. As always, make sure to get the best number possible. As of post-time, there are plenty of -8's ailable. This is playable up to -10.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Will Rogers!
