Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets head-to-head record
Houston has won four of the past five encounters between the Rockets and the Mavericks, including their most recent victory on November 4, 2025, 110-102. The Rockets' impressive 133-96 performance on March 15, 2025, is just one example of how they have continuously managed to control the pace. The Mavericks' lone victory during that period occurred on February 9, 2025, when they used better execution in the closing minutes to score a 116-105 victory.
The majority of the games have been competitive, but Houston's ability to limit Dallas' offensive options and close games has been crucial. Based on these trends, if the Mavericks don't replicate their February performance and have a more effective scoring night, the upcoming game may once again favor the Rockets.
