Houston Rockets win
118–110
63%
Houston's superior offensive efficiency (116.3 vs 108.0 per 100) and defensive rating (107.4 vs 114.9) align with home court at Toyota Center; both teams well-rested but Rockets' recent H2H form and Dallas's turnover issues (19.3 per game) suggest a decisive home victory.

Houston Rockets win
118–109
62%
Houston's superior net rating (116.3 vs 108 offense), better form, home venue, and a recent 18-point H2H road win support the Rockets; Dallas's weak defense (114.9 per 100) and 1-3 slump point to a moderate home margin.
