Houston at Dallas 8:30 ET
Mavericks (+) over Rockets- Every time I look to post against 'these' Rockets I have a slight shutter as the though of James Harden going off for another triple-double as Houston has won 12 of their last 14 contests. Dallas who has shown signs of life are off a loss at New Orleans ending a modest three-game win streak. Power forward and future Hall-of-Fame player Dirk Nowitzki has returned from his Achilles tendon injury and his playing time is limited, but the Mavericks come up big here. Take DALLAS!
