Houston Rockets vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
The Mavs have played improved ball lately and have covered 4 of their last 6 games. However, the Mavericks are on the end of a back to back, and I still need to see more from them before I can back them with confidence against good teams. The Rockets not only win, but they’re 14-6 ATS on the season. With a cover percentage of 70 percent, the Rockets have been the most profitable team in the NBA. I’ll lay the chalk with the Rockets on Saturday night.
