    Saturday- Dallas (-1.5) vs Houston

    Locking in Dallas -1.5

    Dallas won 10 of last 11 and one of them was a 1 point loss to the Nuggets. Line seems very low for Dallas, many may see it as a "trap" situation i just see very good value.

    Hot team in Dallas is going against a very mediocre team in Houston who are 5-5 in there last 10. Dallas won the first two meetings this season (111-106 @ Dallas, 101-91 @ Dallas)

    This is also a mismatch when you look at there ATS record.
    Dallas Road ATS Record: 16-9
    Houston Home ATS Record: 11-13-1

    These two team are very familiar with each other, so i see it becoming a very tight game. Last 10 meetings between the team Dallas is 6-4 SU.

    The game to me comes down to the Bench. Rockets main threat coming off the bench is Courtney Lee (who dropped 23 last game vs. Minnesota) and Aaron Brooks (who is struggling this season). Dallas's bench on the other hand single handedly brought them back into the game vs Denver on Thursday. Big threats such as Terry, Baera and Marion should cause some trouble for Houston to handle.

    You realize that looking at ATS in a game thats a pickem is essentially useless right?

    For the record, Houston is 14-11 at home ML... which is pretty much all that matters here...

    Agreed on 1-5.

    fwiw.
    Houston is 3-9-1 ATS in its last 13 games at home
    Houston is 7-13-1 ATS in its last 21 games when playing Dallas
    Houston is 6-17 SU in its last 23 games when playing Dallas
    Houston is 2-5 SU in its last 7 games when playing at home against Dallas
    Houston is 2-4-1 ATS in its last 7 games when playing at home against Dallas

    I have to agree, going in on Dallas here, a great road team... It is strange though that the line has moved to Dallas -1 (+103) at Pinny. In fact, for ML, Dallas is -102 whereas Houston is -108, so Houston is fave.

    Maybe books are thinking Dallas will let down after a tough buzzer-beating loss at Denver? Still on it though.

    Houston beat the Lakers and the Celtics already this season but other than that they are just mediocre. I like Dallas a lot.

    rockets had plenty of rest and preparation for this game, but i say dallas still wins it. rockets will keep up til 3rd quarter then lose it in the 4th as usual.
