Through 3 Quarters

Down three at the end of last quarter, the Dallas Mavericks have now snagged the lead. It's anybody's game after three quarters, but Dallas is ahead of the Houston Rockets 91-88.

The Mavericks have been led by point guard Luka Doncic, who so far has dropped a double-double on 22 points and 11 rebounds in addition to seven assists. A double-double would be Doncic's third in a row.

Shooting guard Eric Gordon has led the way so far for Houston, as he has 22 points.

What to Know

The Houston Rockets have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. Houston and the Dallas Mavericks will face off in a Southwest Division battle at 8:30 p.m. ET Tuesday at American Airlines Center. Dallas should still be riding high after a win, while the Rockets will be looking to right the ship.

Houston came up short against the Boston Celtics on Sunday, falling 107-97. Shooting guard Kevin Porter had a pretty forgettable game, fouling out and turning the ball over eight times en route to a 15-point finish.

Meanwhile, Dallas was able to grind out a solid victory over the Toronto Raptors this past Saturday, winning 103-95. Small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. and point guard Luka Doncic were among the main playmakers for Dallas as the former shot 7-for-11 from downtown and finished with 25 points and the latter almost posted a triple-double on 27 points, 12 dimes, and nine rebounds.

The Rockets have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 10.50 point spread they are up against. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 0-2 ATS when expected to lose.

Houston beat the Mavericks 102-93 when the two teams previously met in April. The rematch might be a little tougher for Houston since the team won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
