1) The Cavs at home on Xmas. Bu IMO they will be up for that game. and will be rested on a long home stretch.
2) Houston on Dec 31st is an away game. It's a back2back. Its the third game in 4 nights and second game on the road. Houston could be favored for this one.
But if the books were setting a prop, I think the favorite would have to be losing to one of those cream puff teams and not the Rockets or Cavs. They may focus on being the first ever team to pull off a 7-0 road trip. Then, they lose a home game? A game not to underestimate is the MAVS the day BEFORE the Rockets game. If they look too far ahead, Mavs can be dangerous. BUT, Dec 18 vs Bucks at Oracle. That would be my pick.
