Dallas Mavericks Vs Houston Rockets Game Day Preview
The Dallas Mavericks suffered a hard fought 118-108 loss to the Chicago Bulls last night and are in Houston tonight for their second game in as many nights.
As for the Houston Rockets, they are coming off a 102-94 WIN at home against Sacramento. Will James Harden be back in action tonight or will players like John Wall be asked to fill the potential void?
Dallas Mavericks
Jalen Brunson led his team in scoring with 31 points against Chicago. He filled in as a starter for Luka Doncic who sat out with an injured left quadriceps. However, the effort was not enough to secure a victory.
Doncic got injured Friday night in the second quarter of a home victory over Miami Heat. He continued to play and finished with season highs of 27 points and 15 rebounds. He’s listed as day-to-day, with his status Monday night at Houston uncertain.
“We’ll see how he is tomorrow,” Dallas coach Rick Carlisle. “We don’t think this is a long-term thing.”
Houston Rockets
James Harden was a late scratch for the Houston Rockets this past Saturday because of a sprained right ankle. In addition to the off the court drama, Harden the health of the superstar is in question.
“He was just going to see how it felt, and obviously it didn’t feel good enough for him to play.” Coach Stephen Silas said.
John Wall did a great job in filling the void left by Harden by dropping 28 points against the kings. He has been an impressive in his 1st two games of the NBA season.
“I just put in a lot of hard work and dedication to get to this point,” Wall said. “I couldn’t ask for a better start to be 2-0 in my first two games.”
