The Houston Rockets are looking to end a four-game losing streak.
The Dallas Mavericks are coming off a big win against the Golden State Warriors. Dallas was without Luka Doncic.
Meanwhile, the Houston Astros have lost four straight to the Texas Rangers since last season.
So let's just say it's a bad time to be a Houston fan.
Dallas will likely have Doncic back tonight as they look to get out of the play-in slot. He could technically still finish in fourth place, but a few losses could easily drop him into the play-in tournament.
Meanwhile, Houston's tragic number has dropped to one. This means either Houston loses one game or the Warriors win one game for the remainder of the season, eliminating Houston from play-in contention. And given how these teams have been playing the past week, tonight would seem to be the nail in the coffin. Still, there was a lot to celebrate for Rockets fans this season. Now, we're about to finish on a high note.
