Matt Moore's Christmas Day Betting Card: 'Tis the Season

Matt Moore's Christmas betting card for Sunday's NBA slate is FA LA LA, LALA, LAA, and LA.

Matt Moore's Christmas Day betting card is Philadelphia 76ers vs. New York Knicks. The Knicks are on Christmas and have a low total of 220. Both teams are good at defense, but the Sixers have problems with transition play. James Harden's absence from the team could affect the total. The over is more likely to be the case when Harden plays for the 76er's. Knicks at home have hit their team total over in nine of 16 games.

Matt Moore is taking Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Day. Dallas is 12-9 vs. teams over .500 this season, but they are 4-7 straight up vs teams under .5%. Dallas has a better record as a home favorite than as an under-500 team. The Mavs are 2-12-1 as more than a 5-point favorite this year. LeBron James is 4 of 3 on the road on holidays since joining the Heat in 2010.

Milwaukee Bucks are playing Boston Celtics on Christmas Day. The Celtics are in a tailspin after their historic start to the season. Boston has a better homecourt advantage this season than Milwaukee. Since 2019, the Bucks have been 13-26-1 in the regular season as a dog. They are 8-19-2 since adding Jrue Holiday. Celtics have a 5-3 ATS record against Bucks in Boston. FanDuel has the best line at -5.   Matt Moore's Christmas betting card: 'Tis the Season.

Golden State Warriors are playing against Memphis Grizzlies on Christmas Day. The Warriors have been one of the best homecourt teams this season.

Denver Nuggets play Phoenix Suns on Christmas Day. Devin Booker is a doubt for the game. Denver has the worst transition defense in the league and allow the eighth-most points off turnovers per 100 possessions in NBA. Phoenix has fourth-lowest turnover percentage in league this season. Matt Moore bets Denver on the road. He makes Nuggets -1 based on matchup ratings and a small play on moneyline.
