Dallas at Houston

The Dallas Mavericks came limping into this series and came out of game one a loser, putting them at an un-playoff like 11-13 over their last 24 games. Perhaps more revealing is their 1-6 record in their last seven road games vs. a winning team. Dallas has their hands full tonight, although I think they are going to be totally investd in this game, not wanting to go down 0-2 in the series heading to Dallas, but will it be enough? The best two players on the floor belong to Houston in Harden and Howard, but Howard was in foul trouble early and played just 17 minutes. The Houston offense had seven players hit for 10 points or more, and it is that diversity which will be the Dallas demise tonight. The Mavs are just 3-14 ATS in their last 17 games on the road against a team with a winning home record, and they also won just three of those outright. Play Houston on the moneyline.
