HOUSTON – Arguably one of the biggest regular season games ever between the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets will occur Sunday at 6 p.m. when the two I-45 rivals collide at the Toyota Center.
The red-hot Rockets are the hottest team in the NBA with 11 wins in their past 11 games. The Mavs are the second-hottest team in the NBA with wins in 10 of their past 11 games.
In fact, the Mavs’ lone loss during the current surge occurred on the second night of a back-to-back at Oklahoma City, 126-119, on March 14 in a game superstar point guard Luka Donu010diu0107 missed with a sore left hamstring.
