Latest Odds : Rockets -5 Total 239.5
Matchup of two of the best teams in the NBA Western Conference as we get a battle of the 5th and 6th seed here the 29-18 Dallas Mavericks the NBA’s most improved team and 29-18 Houston Rockets who come in also at 29-18 so rather big game here as both teams need wins to move up the conference standings as both come in 7 games behind the Lakers and more importantly 3 games behind Utah and the last home court advantage seed.
Both teams come in off blowout losses the Mavericks though were beaten by 29 at home in Dallas where they have had their troubles but on the road Dallas has been one of the best teams in the NBA coming in at 16-6 SU really a testament to their head coach who has had this team hitting on all cylinders one of those break out stars this season is Luka Doncic.

Luka Doncic has been all NBA world this year scoring 28.8 points per game and bringing home 9.5 rebounds and dishing the ball for 8.7 assists per game really has been a triple double machine for the Mavericks who are also counting on former New York Knick Kristaps Porzingis to start producing like he once did this season he is averaging 16.8 points a game with 8.4 rebounds.
Houston Rockets this year are minus Chris Paul but plus a two time NBA MVP in one Russell Westbrook he has been another NBA all world player added to this already potent lineup that includes another NBA MVP James Harden. James Harden is averaging 35.7 points per game 6.2 rebounds and 7.2 assists so needless to say if he shows up on both ends of the court on Friday night then the Mavericks will have problems.
