Houston at Dallas

This is a short road trip for Houston after playing the last two at home. The Rockets are rebuilding around talented rookie guard Jalen Green, who comes off a game against Boston with 30 points on 11-of-18 shooting while nailing 8 three-pointers. The Rockets are 6-1 ATS following a loss and have covered five of seven as a road dog. Dallas has plenty of things to iron out with new coach Jason Kidd taking over. They opened the season with two road games, including a 113-87 loss at Atlanta. Dallas is 6-18 ATS at home off a road win, and Houston has covered six of the last eight meetings in Dallas, so back the big dog in this one. Play Houston.
