One of the most iconic and anticipated moments of the NBA regular season. Christmas Day arrives which, annually, offers a rich program of stellar matches which, according to the calendar, pit the best players in the League against each other. An important moment to celebrate the Christmas period but also to create spectacular matches before the weekend dedicated to the All Star Game in February 2026. On the parquet of the “Chase Center” in San Francisco, the Golden State Warriors host the Dallas Mavericks.
In the next lines we will review the form of the two teams, the bookmaker odds, the prediction and all the information on where to follow the match live.
Golden State Warriors Dallas Mavericks – NBA Prediction
Many NBA champions who won the ring on the court against the players of the future. This match also represents a crossroads of the future of the League. On the one hand Curry, not only a legend still alive but also a player who changed modern basketball, on the other Flagg, the number 1 choice in the latest NBA Draft. For bookmakers, however, the Warriors are the favorites to win since the roster is certainly stronger and deeper than that of the Mavericks.
Golden State Warriors
It is a real direct clash that is being played on this Christmas Day 2025. The Golden State Warriors find themselves in eighth place after thirty games already played in this regular season. The San Francisco franchise wants to try to build a team ready to win again immediately. The classic “Instant Team” to try to bring the veteran Curry back to the top of the world.
The number 30 is probably endorsing with the owners the possibility of putting together some trade to bring a new star to the Bay. With his presence and that of Kimmy Butler, we will try to reform a trio like in the most important years together with Durant or Thompson. To date, the team has a 50% win rate. After a series of consecutive defeats, the Warriors got back up with two consecutive victories: 119-116 against the Phoenix Suns and 120-97 against the Orlando Magic.
In these last two games, as usual, Curry and Butler were the real protagonists, especially on the offensive front, always exceeding twenty points.
Dallas Mavericks
The two teams meet for the first time in this new season. In the last five matches, there have been three successes for the Dallas Mavericks and two for the Golden State Warriors. In this 2025, last February, two races that brought a victory each. In the last direct match, the Warriors won 126-102.
Dallas has experienced an internal revolution with changes desired by the owners after what happened last year. The trade that took Luka Doncic away from Texas to join the Los Angeles Lakers was not digested by the environment and the fans and caused significant economic damage. In fact, the Mavericks have given up on their franchise man to aim for a risky future with Flagg too. The team had a decline in performance especially due to the physical problems of Davis who arrived from the yellow and purple.
The team is in eleventh place, also outside the Play In zone. 19 defeats compared to just twelve victories. Three KOs in the last five outings, but a success in the last match: a prestigious 131-130 against the Denver Nuggets. Almost triple double for Flagg with 33 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists.
