The Mavs will be without some heavy hitters when they play Houston as Luka Doncic (right ankle sprain) and Kristaps Porzingis (health and safety protocols) will miss this game. Boban Marjanovic (health and safety protocols) and Willie Cauley-Stein (personal reasons) are also out. – 7:04 PM

Because #Mavs head coach Jason Kidd has tested positive for COVID-19, Sean Sweeney is the acting head coach for Dallas tonight against the Rockets. Sweeney said he hasn’t been in this role before: “I might have coached the most games in summer league, but not in the big chair.” – 7:00 PM
