Houston Rockets at Dallas Mavericks Preview & Picks

Dallas are backed to cover the spread as they beat Houston.

The Mavericks are off to a good start this season, producing their best performance yet last time out, and they have largely owned the Rockets in recent years.

  • Dallas Mavericks are 3-1 this season
  • Dallas Mavericks are 8-2 in the last 10 meetings with Houston
  • Dallas Mavericks are 4-1-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings at home
  • The Over has cashed in 3 of the last 4 meetings

Head To Head

  • Houston Rockets lead the all-time series 110-103
  • Dallas Mavericks won 147-136 in overtime when the two teams last met on April 7

Houston Rockets Form

Houston head to Dallas looking to build on the victory in San Antonio that improved their record to 2-2.

The Rockets opened up the series with back-to-back home games, but could only split those two outings.

They got off to a losing start as they were beaten 110-105 by Charlotte, only to rebound with a 128-108 victory when they hosted Memphis.

Houston failed to back that up in their road opener however, as they were beaten 109-106 by San Antonio.

The Rockets did avenge that loss two nights later though, as they ran out 106-101 winners over the Spurs.

Dallas Mavericks Form

Dallas have made a strong start to the season with three victories from their first four games.

The Mavericks opened up at home against San Antonio and ran out 120-109 winners over the Spurs.

They were unable to back that up as they then lost 114-102 in Phoenix, but they have not lost a game since then.

Dallas returned home and made an immediate return to winning ways with a 110-102 win over Utah.

The Mavericks then backed that up when they went out on the road to beat Minnesota 120-114 in a rematch from last season’s playoffs.

Verdict

Dallas just recorded an impressive win at Minnesota to continue their fine start to the season.

The Mavericks now face a Houston team that they have dominated in recent seasons, so we expect to see a home win and cover here.
