The 5-0 Houston Rockets travel to American Airlines Arena to take on the 3-2 Dallas Mavericks in the Battle of Texas in the NBA on Friday. With the Rockets having already beaten this opponent by 18 points this season, our match prediction backs them to continue their perfect start.
The Rockets are sitting atop the Western Conference standings along with the Grizzlies as the only two unbeaten teams left in the 2026-27 NBA season. They rank as the second highest scoring side in the league with 123.0 points per game on average.
Houston’s last outing saw them blow out the Bucks 132-100 on the road. Notably, they were without their All Star center Alperen Sengun, who is also listed as questionable for the Dallas matchup.
These two teams faced off nine days ago to open the season and it was the Rockets that claimed a 128-110 home victory.
Dallas has since responded strongly, winning three of the next four, including the last two in a row. Their last game was a highly-impressive 120-96 home win over the OKC Thunder, dealing them their first loss of the season.
Second year player Cooper Flagg was excellent in that win, racking up 26 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds.

Our Dallas Mavericks vs Houston Rockets Prediction
The Rockets are off to a brilliant start this season and they're looking like the real deal under head coach Ime Udoka. They'll be sweating the fitness of their all-action center Alperen Sengun, but they proved in their last outing that they can still rack up the points even when he's not on the court.
The Mavericks have experienced a solid start to the year but this will be another big test for them. Houston is a tough assignment, especially with how well they're shooting the ball from deep. Our Dallas Mavericks vs Houston Rockets prediction: Rockets -5.5.
