Houston Rockets vs. Dallas Mavericks Preview: How to Watch, Injury Reports, Lineups, More

The Houston Rockets will be looking to get their third straight win against Luka Dončić and the Dallas Mavericks.

The Houston Rockets (8-6) will play the first game of a three-game road trip on Tuesday night against the Dallas Mavericks (10-6) inside the American Airlines Center. The Rockets will be looking to extend their win streak to three games after a big victory against Nikola Jokić and the defending champion Denver Nuggets.

The Rockets won the game in a commanding 106-86 victory, and the team really got the better of the Nuggets shooting the ball. The Rockets shot an impressive 48 percent from the field and 41 percent from beyond the arc, and the team had key performances from Jalen Green and Alperen Şengün.

The team will need another good shooting performance if they want to compete with a team that is as potent offensively as the Dallas Mavericks. Despite that, the Rockets have the advantage in terms of momentum.

While the Rockets have won two straight games, the Mavericks have had some struggles in their last few games, especially in their last game against the Los Angeles Clippers, where they only scored 88 points. The Rockets will be hoping for another performance like this so that it can make the game a bit easier.
