NBA Tuesday

Houston Rockets at Dallas Mavericks.
Rockets are playing good ball no doubt, but the way I see it their momentum is waning. Rockets played their best ball against the Lakers, Jan 10th, the 2 following games they pulled out wins, but not by much and need OT at Kings. Dallas is on the same boat they need OT at Indy and one point win at Toronto. The difference is Mavs having mediocre game is not excusable compared to Houston without Yao. Dallas needs a big win now they're back home the problem is Rockets rarely lose ATS getting +7 points. The way I see it Mavericks cover 1st Half and 2nd Half may or may not be a back door cover, but I think it'll be close with +7 points. We've also seen how active Rockets front court has become and Mavs are not going to give up the inside at home so this should be physical and I like the First Half Under, but half lines are not out yet.

Rockets First Half last 5 games:
1/13 @SAC = HOU 46 points
1/12 @DEN = HOU 44 points
1/10 LAK = HOU 47 points
1/8 @CHI = HOU 30 points
1/7 @MIN = HOU 40 points
Mavericks First Half last 5 games:
1/14 @TOR = DAL 48 points
1/12 @IND = DAL 44 points
1/10 POR = DAL 47 points
1/9 @UTA = DAL 45 points
1/7 @LAL = DAL 51 points

The line was pretty close.

DAL -4 First Half at -110 for 1 unit(L)
HOU/DAL Under 90.5 First Half at 100 for 1 unit(L)
0-2 -2.10 units
