Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images Let’s find a bet worth taking The Dallas Mavericks continue their in-state rival swing with a trip to Houston to face the Rockets. For now, the Mavericks remain in tenth place, on a collision course with the play-in tournament, unless Phoenix gets hot and/or the Mavericks' free fall resumes. The return of PJ Washington looms over this one as evidenced by his player props popping up on the board. Dallas needs all the healthy bodies they can get. Let’s scan the lines and props and find a wager that might make this one a bit more fun to watch. Game Details Fixture ..read more

Daniel Dunn-Imagn Images The Mavericks fell flat down south, and fall back to a losing record. The Dallas Mavericks split their games against the San Antonio Spurs this week after dropping the second game, 126-116, Wednesday night. The team falls back under .500 to a record of 33-34, floating just above the Phoenix Suns for the final play-in spot. The shorthanded Mavericks had seven players in double figures, led by Dante Exum’s 17 points and Brandon Williams’ 19 off the bench, but it wasn’t enough after a lackluster start to the second half. A deficit they were never able to recover. 11: Poin ..read more

Brandon Williams led the way for Dallas with 19 points, while De’Aaron Fox paced San Antonio with a game-high 32. The Mavericks were unable to complete the sweep of the two-game “baseball series” in San Antonio and had to settle for the 1-1 split. The two teams went back and forth for much of the first quarter, with neither side able to gain much separation. Naji Marshall continued his hot stretch by chi ..read more
