DEFENDING CHAMPION DOLDRUMS
Christmas Day has not been a gifting experience for NBA’s defending champions.

The Cavs hope to add to that number when they visit the reigning champion Warriors at Oracle Arena Friday.

Only 4 of the nineteen games played on Dec. 25 involving Eastern and Western Conference foes have managed to top the total, bringing the tally to 2-14-1 UNDER in these games since 1991.
THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
Since 2000 teams on Christmas Day playing off back-to-back SU and ATS losses (Chicago Bulls), the last as a favorite, are 8-0 SU and ATS.
