Rockets take on the Mavericks in Dallas on Wednesday, looking to avoid a six-game losing streak. Houston has been nearly as bad against the spread (ATS) this season (16-34 ATS) as they are overall (13-37 straight up).

Houston point guard John Wall has been banged up all season long and is questionable on Wednesday night with nagging knee concerns.

The Rockets have covered just twice in their past five games, but one of those covers came in their most recent game, a narrow, three-point loss to the Phoenix Suns.

Dallas is trending in the opposite direction. The Mavs have won five straight, and seven of their past 10 behind Luka Doncic's 29.3 points per game over that stretch.

The Mavericks have been about even ATS on the season at 25-24.

And even though they look 100% healthy for their matchup with the Mavericks, our latest PRO Report tells us that sharp bettors are expecting head coach Stephen Silas' Rockets squad to put up a fight on Wednesday night. Let's take a look.
