Earl K. Sneed and the Mavs.com Shootaround Report
You can expect a good, old-fashioned shootout Thursday night at the American Airlines Center when the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets meet up for the second time this season.
Following a disappointing road-heavy stretch, the Dallas Mavericks began a four-game homestand with their highest scoring output of the season. They could be in line for another offensive outpouring against the Houston Rockets.
Tonight, the Mavericks will face an opposing center who stands 6-6 and averages 6.6 points. Chuck Hayes is the second shortest player in the Houston Rockets' starting lineup, but he has become an important part of the team's defense during this most recent prolonged absence of Yao Ming.
