NBA Playoffs: Houston Rockets vs Dallas Mavericks – Lineup Preview and Analysis

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The Houston Rockets swam through a sea of injuries, lineup changes and Charles Barkley insults (mostly directed to general manager Darly Morey) to clinch a playoff birth as the second seed and division champs. After an exhausting 82 games, they now narrow their sights to winning 16. Only 240 miles away from H-town lies their first roadblock: The Dallas Mavericks.

In the midst of roster revisions, Houston took care of their homecourt against Dallas in the regular season (2-0) and split their road series (1-1).
