Mavericks vs. Rockets Best NBA Prop Bets

Mavericks Best NBA Prop Bet

Since some Davis and Lively are retired of this game, nan Mavericks are going to request a superior jolt connected nan solid against a Houston squad that allows nan second-fewest rebounds per crippled successful nan NBA this season.

Washington enters this matchup averaging 7.7 boards per game, arsenic he's grabbed 7 aliases much rebounds successful 4 of his six matchups. He's only averaging 11.0 rebound chances per game, but that should people tick up pinch Davis and Lively disconnected nan floor.

Houston whitethorn make it reliable connected Washington to rack up a double-digit rebound crippled for illustration he did erstwhile Davis went down against Indiana, but I still deliberation 7 rebounds is very overmuch successful play for nan Mavs guardant successful this matchup.

Dallas enters this crippled pinch nan worst violative standing successful nan NBA (104.2), and it’s averaging conscionable 108.2 points per game, which is bully for 29th successful nan league. 

Now, nan Mavs are down aggregate starters successful Davis and Lively against an elite rebounding and protect squad successful Houston. The Rockets had a top-10 protect standing past season, and they are 12th successful protect standing and eighth successful force points per crippled successful nan 2025-26 campaign.

I person a difficult clip trusting this Dallas offense, particularly since nan squad has been trying to play Cooper Flagg astatine constituent defender successful his first fewer NBA games. Flagg is going to tally into immoderate reliable perimeter defenders successful Amen Thompson, Tari Eason and much connected Monday night.

Dallas has nether 105.5 points successful 2 games this play and has grounded to people 110 points 4 of six games. I wouldn’t beryllium shocked to spot Houston clasp nan Mavs nether 100 connected Monday night. 

Pick: Mavs Team Total UNDER 105.5 (-102 astatine DraftKings)
