The Rockets get to return to Houston and will try to move to 3-0 on the season against the struggling Dallas Mavericks.
Make no mistake: this Mavs team would probably be in the thick of the playoff hunt if they were fully healthy. However, they will be missing Dirk Nowitzki, JJ Barea, and Andrew Bogut. The Mavs just got Seth Curry back last night against the Pacers.
Dallas will be able to trot out Deron Williams, Wesley Matthews, Harrison Barnes, and Dwight Powell. All have had great games against Houston and Barnes is averaging 20/6 and doing well to make the max contract Dallas gave him a smart idea rather than the joke many thought it was in the offseason.
