WHO: Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Houston Rockets
WHAT: Avoiding a trap game loss
WHERE: American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. CST
HOW: Bally Sports Southwest
THE STORY: Luka Doncic is getting a rest for the first time in forever and the Mavericks will look to avoid a lapse in focus against the Houston Rockets. I’m unclear what to write about here, if I’m honest, because this is a game even the non-Luka Mavericks should handle with ease because the Rockets don’t have any incentive to win.
And yet the Rockets just beat the pants off the Wizards and have a number of players I am very concerned about going nuts. They have no one on the injury report. Christian Wood is one player who I think could give Dallas real trouble if he gets things going. KPJ is another one.
Then again, this happened 3 days ago:
Kevin Porter Jr. airballed a three, limped as if he was hurt, then asked for a lob pass (didn't get it), didn't run back in transition, and then looked at Stephen Silas and asked out of the game.

Let’s hope the Mavs take care of business. Go Mavs.
