    Rockets +5/ML on Wednesday in Dallas

    Houston desperately needs this game -- even moreso than Dallas. Mavs coming back from a long, exhausting road trip. I think they can get this one, or at the very least, cover.

    Houston needs it, i just think they are tired. And dallas is a deep team.
    What u think of okc and phx? I think Phx +4 is a good pick, they need it more. OKC have enough motivation to cover?

    I may take Mavs ml. Win this game, they will get some cushion over the Rockets, Nuggets and Jazz.

    after a triple ot loss to the jazz i think the mavs are pissed that they let that slip away so id take the over 192 on total points and the cover -4.5 against houston but im not set on finalizing the pick as theres other games on the board to choose from

    I'd go for the overs to be safe.

    Carlisle is pissed his team let the last 2 games slip out of their hands but tonite is a band-aid game for the mavs at the cost of the rockets... the rockets have no big man to worry abt with houston so carlisle can utilize his three headed big man rotation in haywood, knight, and mahini with confidence... if the mavs win the rebounding war, they win this game easily

    Dallas is 2 of 3 against Hou this year. Dallas is going for the sweep after a 4 game road trip including some O.T. played last game. Dallas is 1-6-1 when favored by 4-4.5 points this year ATS. Houston has plenty to fight for however, you could say Dallas does also. How well do teams play after decent sized road trips? Go HOUSTON!

    Good luck Coin, 5 may be about right, but I dont subscribe to the notion of teams needing wins and going out and getting it done, it fails too many times, Bucks needed wins last week and went out and failed, same with Philadelphia. Talk in Utah is they might rest key players tonight, for what? They need every win they can get.

    Not to mention Dallas might rest players, seems they would want to perhaps try and finish so maybe get the Lakers? I know it was last year but they did sweep them. Im playing it safe these last few games before the playoffs.

    I'm having a hard time understand the strategy and motivation (or lack thereof) of a lot of these teams recently. Just a weird finish to the season. You're probably right about playing it safe. Who knows.

    Rockets look good but there's not much value at +4.5

    dallas needs this win more than any team in the league right now

    They're 1.5 games from being bounced out of the playoffs!

    Big game tonight, line looks sharp, GL on your plays

    What a horrible fourth quarter collapse by these pretenders.

    I'm really getting sick of the NBA.

    So for the 4th game in a row, Rockets collapsed in the 2nd half.

    That's what this team's been doing best all season long.

    They're the Bucks of the west.

    They're going to give up 40 fourth quarter points with their season on the line to a team coming back from a long road trip.

    So do we give them a last chance against the Hornets?
