Houston at Dallas

3-0 meets 2-1. Both teams are hot. Dallas is off a great offensive night. They scored 123 vs. Sacramento, hitting an unreal 65% from the field. But, that won't continue. And, prior to that, they averaged under 46% and 93 ppg. Houston has been doing it on defense, having held their three opponents all to 95 or less and 89.3 on average! As a road dog, the Rockets were 20-7 UNDER the first half last season including 12-3 as a dog of 3.5 to 9.5 points. Dallas is 65-42 UNDER the first half the last 107 times they scored 60+ in the first half of their last game. And, under Avery Johnson, the Mavs are 30-15 UNDER the first half when coming off a game in which they scored 110 or more. Let's look for the pendulum to swing the other way tonight for Dallas, especially with Houston's defense, and for this total to go UNDER.
