The Rockets look to avenge an earlier 95-81 loss at the hands of the Mavericks.
Oddsmakers like the Mavericks in this one, opening the line at 11 in favor of Dallas. They are 52-15 this season, while the Rockets are 29-38. The total sits at 176.5.
Last time out, at Toyota Center against Los Angeles, the Rockets as underdogs lost to the Clippers 99-91. The game was an over play.
The Mavericks, meanwhile, will try to forget a 100-89 loss at the hands of the Nets, a game where they were favorites by 2. The total score went over the total.
With the league's #29-ranked offence, Houston either needs a breakout game or it's up to the defence to keep them in this one. The Rockets average just 90.4 points per game.
