5 Teams On The Warriors' Schedule That Could End Their Winning Streak

Stephen Curry Warriors — The Golden State Warriors are on a complete tear of the NBA, winning their first 23 games of the season. They seem unstoppable right now, and every fan is wondering who will be the team to break their winning streak. Here are five teams coming up on the Warriors' schedule that have a shot at it.

5. Boston Celtics (Dec. 11)

5. Boston Celtics (Dec. 11)

Brad Stevens Celtics — The very next game for the undefeated Warriors is against an underdog Celtics team that could very well shock the world with a victory. Klay Thompson is a game-time decision to play, which should give Boston a huge boost of confidence going into tonight's game. Isaiah Thomas and company are on a tremendous run as of late, winning their last four out of five games over great teams. They certainly have the ability to pull off the upset.

4. Cleveland Cavaliers (Christmas Day)

4. Cleveland Cavaliers (Christmas Day)

David Blatt LeBron James Kevin Love Cavaliers — LeBron James and the Cavs are seeking redemption from last year's finals, and what better way to do that than to be the team that breaks the Warriors' undefeated streak? Cleveland is one of the best teams in the league right now, and they have the firepower to go up against anyone, including Steph Curry. If the Warriors arrive on Christmas Day still without a loss, look for the Cavs to try and spoil the fun for all Golden State fans.

3. Dallas Mavericks (Dec. 30)

Dirk Nowitzki Mavericks

3. Dallas Mavericks (Dec. 30)

Dirk Nowitzki Mavericks — Dirk Nowitzki and his Mavericks aren't a team to take lightly this year. Although they could be shaky with their shooting percentages, the Mavs are a team that if they start getting on a hot streak, it could mean trouble for the opposition. Nowitzki and Wesley Matthews will need to be on the top of their games in order to defeat this Warriors team. If they are, then the Dallas crowd could be getting a late Christmas present.

2. Houston Rockets (Dec. 31)

James Harden Rockets

2. Houston Rockets (Dec. 31)

James Harden Rockets — Houston has one of the most prolific scorers in the league today in James Harden, who could bulldoze his Rockets team to a victory against anyone in the league. If he's on his game, Houston could go into the New Year knowing that they were the ones that halted Golden State's winning streak at 31 games, two games short of the NBA record. If Patrick Beverley can hold down Curry, and Dwight Howard can rebound the ball, they might have a chance.

1. Miami Heat (Jan. 11)

Dwyane Wade Goran Dragic Heat

1. Miami Heat (Jan. 11)

Dwyane Wade Goran Dragic Heat — If it's possible that the winning streak goes this far into the season, the Warriors' next biggest challenge will come against a strong Miami Heat squad. With Hassan Whiteside guarding the basket and Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh continuing their dominance, Miami could very well be the first ones to take down the almighty Warriors team. However, the key to this game will be the play of Goran Dragic, and if he can defend the great Steph Curry.
