This is a 10* play UNDER Rockets-Mavs

Houston avoided a major scare with X-rays coming back negative on James Harden's wrist. The NBA's leading scorer (36.6 PPG) injured that wrist in Friday's win over the 76ers. Harden will play today, but will he be as effective as usual? Perhaps not. The Rockets are playing well right now. They have the longest active win streak in the league at seven straight. Back to back strong defensive efforts have really helped as they held Toronto to 95 points and Philly to 91. After holding those teams in check, stopping Dallas shouldn't be too tall an order. The Mavericks have lost 9 of 10. But they are more formidable at home where their SU record for the year is 21-11. So expect this to be a tougher game than expected for the Rockets, especially with Harden playing with the injured wrist. It should be a pretty low scoring game too, which is where we're willing to put our money. Six of Houston's last eight games have gone Under anyway. They are only shooting 43.2% in division games this season. Dallas had two sub-90 point efforts recently. In the last seven meetings vs. Houston, the Mavs have scored more than 107 points just once.
