Houston vs. Dallas

Houston will be without reserve guard Eric Gordon, but the Rockets have plenty of depth at that position to make up for it, and they are up against the Mavericks, who are all but assured a playoff spot. Houston has the motivation to get back on track after losing four of its last five games, and the time off will be good for the Rockets. Dallas split its last six games in March, and Houston won the last head-to-head matchup, 128-121, in January. The Rockets are 16-6 ATS as underdogs and are a slight dog in this one. Play the Rockets on the moneyline.
