Houston welcomes Dallas to Toyota Center for this highly anticipated in-state showdown in the NBA on Sunday. The Rockets are fourth in the standings at 29–17 on the season, while the Mavericks are 11th at 19–29. Check out our prediction for the game below.
After a 12-point defeat to second-place San Antonio Spurs, the Houston Rockets bounced back with an impressive 18-point away victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. They shot 42% overall and 39% from beyond the arc to sink the Hawks 104–86 and secure their third win in four games.
Interestingly, the Texas ball club come into this clash with 11 wins from their last 13 home games. They have also won four of their last five home (including the most recent three) meetings with the Dallas Mavericks, three of which by double-digit margins.
The Dallas Mavericks fell at home, losing 123–121 to the Charlotte Hornets in their last outing on Friday, marking their third consecutive defeat. They have also endured a dismal run of form on the road lately, suffering defeats in nine of their last 11 away games. Jason Kidd's side will need a miracle to overturn this poor road form against the in-form Rockets.
