Mavs vs. Rockets Game 1 Free Pick
HOUSTON, TX (ATS Consultants) – The Rockets are favored in Game 1 of the Conference Quarterfinals versus the Mavericks tonight at 9:30PM ET and should be a good bet to cover.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book GT Bets, the Rockets are 5-point favorites versus the Mavs after opening as 5.5-point favorites. As for the total, it opened at 210 before climbing to 212.
The Rockets own the No. 2 seed because they have the second-best player in the league in James Harden. They also have Dwight Howard back in the middle after missing half the season.
The Houston crowd will be buzzing and booing former Rocket Chandler Parsons, who took the money to play for Dallas. The Rockets won three of the four meetings this season, three without Howard. The Mavericks can’t stop Harden and that will leave players like Terrence Jones and Trevor Ariza wide open for three-pointers.
