Mavericks vs. Warriors live updates, how to watch NBA Christmas game

Former championship-winning teammates will once again reunite in the San Francisco Bay Area during the NBA’s slate of Christmas Day games.

Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors will welcome Klay Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, Dec. 25 as part of the league’s annual five-game Christmas Day schedule. It will be the first time since 2018 that all three suited up on the same court and played on Christmas Day together. Now, they’ll meet as rivals seven years later.

It’s the Warriors first matchup of the season against the Mavericks (12-19), who are coming off of a 131-130 win against the Denver Nuggets on Dec. 23 behind a game-high 33 points from rookie standout Cooper Flagg. He averages 19.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game – second amongst first-year players in both categories – and sits atop the USA TODAY NBA rookie rankings. Dallas is led by center Anthony Davis, who averages a team-high 21.7 points, 11.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.

This Christmas game for Curry is the 12th of his career. He tied the record with James Harden for most three pointers made in a Christmas game, hitting eight in 2024 against the Los Angeles Lakers. He also set the record for most points (17) in the fourth quarter on Christmas.

Golden State (15-15) enters the holiday jamboree winners of back-to-back games vs. the Orlando Magic and Phoenix Suns. They look to go above .500 for the first time since Dec. 7 and finish the remainder of the strong.
