I want the Mavericks in this spot and am willing to lay double-digits to back them here.

Dallas had its five-game win streak come to a rough end with a 107-77 loss at home to the Knicks two days ago. The Rockets, on the other hand, are off a highly-satisfying 139-130 overtime home win against the Lakers from Wednesday.

The Mavericks are 23-9 ATS following a defeat. They are 2-0 versus the Rockets this season and 4-1 ATS during their past five visits to Houston.

The Rockets not only have the second-worst record in the NBA, but they also have a terrible point spread mark just 11-27 the past 38 times as an underdog.
