Houston is 3-1 SU, but just 2-2 ATS in this series. Most recently the Mavericks would avoid the dreaded sweep by pulling away for a convincing 121-109 victory in Game 4, but with a shift in venue and with a chance to wrap this one up in front of the home town crowd, I expect the Rockets to be on top form Tuesday night and definitely feel they're worth a second look in this one. Obviously the last thing Houston can afford is to give the Mavs any hope, a loss today would have to be considered a monumental letdown, I simply can't foresee the Rockets not coming in completely focused this time around on both ends of the court. And note, this is in fact a position in which the Mavericks have struggled in for bettors all season long as they're just 19-23 in all road games, only 18-24 ATS after scoring 105 points or more and interestingly, a poor 20-28 ATS vs. poor defensive teams which allow 99-plus points per contest. Conversely, take note that this is a spot in which the Rockets have dominated in all year, 28-15 ATS overall in front of the home town crowd, 12-2 ATS after a loss by 10 points or more and a near-perfect 11-1 ATS off an upset loss as a favorite. So what do you think? Can the Mavs steal another one and force a Game 6, or does Houston lay the hammer down at home?
