Dallas Mavericks

Houston Rockets

HOU -8.5 · O/U 226.5

Peek grade

The Gist

No lean on the side; slight lean under 226.5 with both rotations in flux.

▸Houston lays 8.5 while Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun, Fred VanVleet and Steven Adams are all day-to-day, so the number depends heavily on who actually plays.
▸Dallas is also thin, with Dereck Lively II, Marcus Sasser, Santi Aldama and Morez Johnson Jr. all day-to-day, which limits how far the Rockets can push the margin.
▸Kyrie Irving's return to Dallas adds a storyline but no clear edge, and a 226.5 total asks two shorthanded rotations to produce a lot of scoring.
