Following the Mavericks route of the Wizards on Monday, Dallas will have their hands full against the Rockets tonight. Sitting at 33-12, Houston holds the second best record in the West and the league in its entirety.
Tonight marks the third consecutive game that Dennis Smith Jr. will go toe-to-toe with an All-Star caliber point guard in Chris Paul, starting with Damian Lillard on Saturday and John Wall on Monday. Coming off an All-Star snub because of his injury, expect Chris Paul to bring his “A” game tonight at the AAC.
The Rockets are currently on a three game win streak and winners of six of their last seven games, including impressive victories against the Heat, Warriors, and Timberwolves.
