This is a lot of points to lay with a Dallas Mavericks team that's banged up, not playing well and loses on the road by an average of 4.1 points. The Houston Rockets have been more competitive as of late, and they only lose at home by an average of 2.2 points. The Rockets did beat the Mavs when these teams faced off back in November. I'll take a shot with the home dog here.
