Dallas at Houston 9:35 ET
Mavericks (+) over Rockets- The Houston Rockets showed that they are more then a one man show in Game 1 against the Mavericks as James Harden was held to 24 points but they had six other players that scored in double figures. Dallas fell behind early and were never able to make a serious threat as the Rockets attempted 42 free throws to the Mavericks 17. Dwight Howard who is still working his way back into shape played on 17 minutes for Houston but will need more playing time tonight. With or without it Dallas will scrap 'tooth and nail' until the final buzzer. Take the MAVERICKS!
