4. vs Dallas – December 30

The Golden State Warriors made history last season when they set the NBA record for longest home winning streak. They’re going to win close to 40 games at home this season, simply because they have an insane advantage at home. However, there will be a couple of unexpected teams that challenge them.

One game that feels like a bit of a trap at home is on December 30th, when the Warriors host the Dallas Mavericks. It will be the second time that Dallas visits Golden State this season and they have the veteran savvy to steal a game like this.

The Warriors will be in the midst of a long home stretch during this period after their Christmas game at Cleveland. On this particular home stand, one team is going to rise up and give this team a fight. Rick Carlisle is a fantastic coach and will look to challenge Golden State.

Kevin Durant struggled against Dallas in the playoffs and it won’t be surprising to see Dallas try a similar game plan. The Warriors could always blow the pants off the Mavericks and win by 40, but they can’t overlook Dallas here.
