Back-to-back wins for the Warriors not long after Steve Kerr's lament about the status of his team, but need a bit more evidence before putting GS in the "go-with" category. The Dubs have been an erratic spread performer at best, and an underachiever at worst; Monday's win and cover over the Magic followed four spread Ls, and across the past fifteen games, the Warriors are only 5-10 vs. the number. Even during wins, there always seems a sidebar concern; on Monday it was Draymond Green's sideline spat with Kerr and retreat to the locker room in the 3rd Q. Meanwhile some hints of renaissance from the Mavs, who have won 7 of 11, roughly coinciding with Anthony Davis returning from his calf strain. Play Mavs

Cooper Flagg's all-around game is blossoming, and I'm expecting more of the same in his first Christmas Day showcase. The No. 1 overall draft pick has recorded 12 or more rebounds plus assists in five of his last six games, including a 9-rebound, 9-assist performance Tuesday vs. Denver. I would also play this Over 10.5 at even or plus money.

Anthony Davis has hauled in at least 14 rebounds in four of his last five games. Fully back from injury, he logged at least 33 minutes in each of those games. The Warriors don’t have a ton of size up front, which has contributed to them allowing the 10th-most rebounds per game in the league. Look for Davis to dominate the glass in this matchup.

DraftKings. Coming off a tough rebounding matchup against the Nuggets and Nikola Jokic, I’m looking for Anthony Davis to clean the glass in a better spot against the Warriors. Davis is over this line in six of his last nine games, and seven of eleven games overall when he plays at least 30 minutes. The Warriors allow the seventh most rebounds to opposing centers, and Davis has historically boarded well against them.
