Quick Take
Pre-match view
Houston has the better scoring and head-to-head case, but Dallas's home scoring and Irving's removal from the injury report keep the game live.
Normal full-game and selected period markets are supported; player forecasts are absent, leaving team rotation uncertainty outside the forecast.
Context
Houston's strong start and recent win in Dallas give the Rockets the better form case, but Dallas's home scoring and the availability questions around Irving, Şengün and Smart make participation the main swing.
NBA rules: full-game winner, handicap and totals include overtime. The 48-minute result, halves and quarters exclude it.
Experimental forecasts: accuracy has not yet been validated against historical results.
