Dallas Mavericks vs Houston Rockets NBA Preview
Jim Turvey was on this prop in last night's Buckets podcast.
Steven Adams has hit the over on this in 80% of the games this season.
The Mavericks rank 22nd in 3-point rate. So, there will be fewer long rebounds.
Anthony Davis and Derick Lively are both out for Dallas.
The two-big lineup is going to eat for the Rockets tonight.
I looked for more inventive approaches here, but it really just is Adams over on rebounds.
