Rockets plus 4 1/2 at Mavericks
I would advise Miriam Adelson and her family not to attend today’s Mavericks’ home game, Dallas’ first home game since the team traded Luka Doncic. Adelson and her family have a net worth of more than $32 billion, according to Forbes with Adelson being the fifth-richest woman in the world. Adelson is the majority owner of the Mavericks.
She is using some of that money to deploy extra security inside and outside of American Airlines Center. Dallas fans remain up in arms about losing Doncic, a 25-year-old five-time All-NBA guard, for 31-year-old, injury-prone Anthony Davis.
All of this has to be extremely distracting for the Mavericks as they return home from a five-game road trip that began Jan. 29 and culminated with a surprising victory against the Celtics this past Thursday. Dallas upset Boston despite not having Davis. He’s been out with his latest injury, an abominable strain, but is expected to play today for the first time since Jan. 28.
Dallas still could be missing P.J. Washington, who is second on the team in rebounding and is the third-leading scorer. He’s missed Dallas’ past two games for personal reasons.
While the Mavericks try to get adjusted to being home and dealing with what could be a crazy situation, the Rockets are in serious stop-the-pain mode having lost five in a row.
The Rockets will be going all out to salvage this finale of a four-game road trip against their in-state, division rival.
Houston is 17-10 away from home. The Rockets are 11-5 SU and ATS on the road since December. Since mid-January, the Rockets own impressive road victories against the Celtics, Cavaliers and Nuggets. They nearly defeated the Knicks and Grizzlies, who they lost to by one point, on the road.
I am 8-3 on my last 11 plays and have my NHL Game of the Year going today along with plays in the NBA and college basketball. I am 5-0 this month on my CBB premium plays. I also am 8-2 on my last 10 NFL plays, beating the NFL for the 27time in 32 years. I have a Super Bowl play along with a top prop.

Best of luck and no bad beats!
