Rockets vs. Mavericks: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated Thursday at 12:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Mavericks 118, Rockets 115

Moneyline (ML)

The MAVERICKS (-134) are slight “home” favorites over the Rockets on Friday night in the first game of the NBA restart for both teams. While it’s tough to rely on data from March, it’s worth noting that the Rockets were struggling mightily before the NBA season was suspended. They had lost four of their five final games with their only win coming against a bad Minnesota team. And without SG Eric Gordon in the line-up, Dallas is a bad match-up for Houston. Take Dallas to win this game on Friday night.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The MAVERICKS (-2) are two-point favorites over the Rockets are Friday night, so this is the better bet if you decide to take Dallas. The payout for this spread is -110, which gives you a bit more value than the moneyline. It’s worth noting that SF Marcus Kidd-Gilchrist will not play in tonight’s game, which gives the Mavericks one less wing defender to match up with SG James Harden and PG Russell Westbrook. However, look for the Mavs to win and cover this small spread on Friday.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total for this Western Conference matchup is set at 231.5, which feels about right considering these are two of the best three offenses in the NBA. Both teams averaged over 116 points per game in the regular season and both struggled on the other end of the court as well. While this game could get a bit sloppy and the shooting could be erratic, expect a ton of points to be scored and for the OVER to hit in Orlando.

Prediction

Kings 115, Spurs 112

Moneyline (ML)

The KINGS (-150) are small “road” favorites over the Spurs in their first game of the NBA restart. Before the season was suspended, the Kings were playing their best basketball of the season as they won seven of their final games. The same can’t be said for the Spurs, who lost 10 of their last 15 games before play was canceled. Take the Kings in this contest, but expect the game to be close throughout.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Kings (-2.5) open this contest as a one-basket favorite over the Spurs. Before play was suspended, San Antonio failed to cover in seven of their last eight games. They were clearly struggling to keep games close and were blown out several times in their last few games. Given that both teams have a significant amount of injuries they will have to deal with, expect this game to be close, but for the Kings to ultimately cover.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total for this Western Conference matchup is set at 222.5, which feels low despite both offenses struggling at times this season. While its fair to expect some shaky shooting from both sides, these are two of the worst defenses in the NBA as each side ranks in the bottom half of the league in points allowed per game. Expect the scoring to be sporadic, but for the OVER to ultimately hit in Orlando.
