Dallas Mavericks vs Houston Rockets Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA

 by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions

The Battle of Texas is set to tip off in the NBA’s Western Conference as the 3-1 Dallas Mavericks host the 2-2 Houston Rockets. Let's get right nto the prediction!

It’s been a strong start to the season for last season’s runners-up as Dallas will harbor strong ambitions at a return to the NBA Finals. The addition of Klay Thompson has worked a treat so far as the four-time NBA champion has slotted into the Mavs’ system like a glove.

Thompson is shooting 42.5% from deep and is averaging 16.5 points per game on just under 30 minutes of floor time.

The Mavericks are coming off a 120-114 away win over the Timberwolves for their second win in a row and third of the season. Both teams had it going from deep but Dallas forcing Minnesota into 20 turnovers was ultimately the difference.

It’s been a staggered start to the 2024/25 season for Houston. A 106-101 away win over their other in-state rivals San Antonio pulled the Rockets back to .500 on the year. Houston finished with just a .341 winning percentage on the road compared to .659 at home last year.

Ime Udoka’s squad have been typically strong on defense in the opening stages. They rank ninth in adjusted defensive rating (111.0) and sixth in opponent effective FG% (50.2%).

Our Dallas Mavericks vs Houston Rockets Prediction

There is a difference in the amount of travel that these two teams have done in the early parts of the season. The Rockets haven’t yet had to leave the state of Texas, while the Mavericks just played a stretch of three games (two on the road) in four days including a back-to-back.

Dallas have plenty of three-point shooting threats in their squad but Houston do a great job at running players off the perimeter. The visitors should ultimately do enough to keep this one close. Our Dallas Mavericks vs Houston Rockets prediction: Rockets +5.5 point spread.
