Mavs, winners of 9 of last 10, vs Rockets on an 11 game roll, play tonight. Totally different scenarios for each as Mavs have become a serious contender for the title.
Remember the gnashing of teeth when Kyrie came onboard? His avg 26/game while shooting 41 percent on 3s with a 3-1 assist to TO rate. Luka is still the master but Kyrie takes a load off his back.
Rockets, missing Sengun, Whitmore, Eason, and Adams in their streak and changed their style to a smaller lineup using their speed and athleticism on both offense and defense. Extremely unlikely they'll pass the Warriors for a play in spot but the young talent is coming together. The Rockets own the Nets draft pick (likely #9) and get to keep their own if it's in the first four. If not a top four, it goes to Thunder who are also kicking ass with a ton of draft picks.
Spurs are taking their lumps but another good draft will have them improving real soon. There are gonna be some great battles for a while with this foursome.
