In this Rockets vs Mavericks game, Dallas needs to close the gap because the team has the Kings within its reach.

The Rockets have attained only one win in the last 7 games they have played. They have been playing a low level all season, and they have been winning only here and there. When they seem to be improving, then they go back to their old ways and lose again.
They defeated Chicago in a good way by a 133-118 score, and they performed pretty good, with Kevin Porter Jr scoring 36 points and Alperen Sengun pulling down 11 boards. In theory, they have good pieces, but as a team they do not work, which
is something important. Whenever they play away from home, their performance drops even more, in that condition they have a 4-13 record.. Nearly 20% of their points production decreases when they play away from home, and that affects the results. Yet, if the team finds a good moment during the match, it becomes another kind of team, but the problem is that those moments don’t come often for the Rockets.
Betting on the Dallas Mavericks
- Season record: 19-16

Dallas arrives to this game with a very good streak: 4 consecutive wins, and with Luka Doncic who even seems to be playing a different game. He dominates all areas of the field and that is why the Mavericks are advancing with their heads held high in the West.
You just have to look at his performance against the Knicks, where he made a triple-double of 10 assists, and impressive 21 rebounds, and he scored 60 points. Yes, 60 points! This is the first triple double with 60 points and 20 rebounds in NBA history. Besides all that, the game was epic. The Mavericks were losing at first, and with the Slovenian’s help, they managed the bounce back up.
For this game, they are playing at home, and they arrive motivated by the win against the Knicks and Doncic’s record. Their home record is 13-5, and on their home court they are almost invincible so the Rockets will have to pull a near miracle to defeat the Mavericks this time.
JefeBet Prediction
For this Rockets vs Mavericks game, there are already a couple of precedents in this season. The first encounter was won by the Rockets 101-92, and the second one by the Mavericks 112-106. We believe that the series will be 2-1 in favor of Dallas, because it looks complicated that Houston can defeat them at this moment.
Besides Doncic is performing incredibly. There’s no stopping him, and even if we don’t think he’ll score 60 points again, we believe that if the Rockets get careless, we could see another historic night taking place.
