Houston at Dallas

The Houston Rockets have made the best of life without Yao and Tracy McGrady. Sooner or later playing on the road against the good teams will take its toll. The Mavericks certainly have developed a huge home-court advantage as they are now 27-4 straight up in their last 31 home games. Two of the losses were to New Orleans, so this is certainly no easy task for the Rockets, who lost both games here a year ago by double-digits. On the road against the good teams has not been kind to the Rockets where they stand at just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 going back to last year. Dallas is playing lethal with two day’s rest and has now gone 41-20-1 ATS in their last 62 with two days off. The Rockets are just 4-11 ATS in the last 15 meetings, so I'm going with Dallas here.
