The Dallas Mavericks take on the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center on Wednesday night.

The Mavericks (28-21) appear to finally be hitting their stride after plenty of inconsistency earlier in the season, as they've notched five straight wins and seven in their last eight games overall. Their most recent success was especially impressive, as they toppled a red-hot Utah Jazz team by a 111-103 score. Luka Doncic led the way with 31 points, adding nine rebounds and eight assists. Dorian Finney-Smith furnished 23 points, six boards, four assists, one steal and one block. Jalen Brunson supplied 20 points, four boards and three assists. Josh Richardson contributed 17 points, five rebounds and two assists. Tim Hardaway, Jr. managed 16 points, five rebounds and one assist.

The Mavericks will list Maxi Kleber (leg), Trey Burke (calf) as questionable for Wednesday's game. Willie Cauley-Stein (COVID-19 protocols) and JJ Redick (heel) will both remain out.

The Rockets (13-37) have been struggling the majority of the season as their record indicates, and they'll enter Wednesday's game having dropped five straight and seven of the last eight overall. However, Houston gave a valiant effort against a quality opponent in its most recent defeat, a 133-130 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Monday night. Christian Wood paced the Rockets with 23 points, adding three rebounds. Kelly Olynyk finished with 21 points, four boards, one assist and two steals. Kevin Porter registered 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. Jae'Sean Tate recorded 18 points, seven rebounds, five assists and one steal. Sterling Brown and Kenyon Martin, Jr. offered 16 and 13 points, respectively, while also pulling in three rebounds apiece.

The Rockets will list Danuel House (ankle), Eric Gordon (groin), David Nwaba (wrist) and Dante Exum (calf) as out for Wednesday's game. John Wall and Avery Bradley will carry questionable and probable tags, respectively, due to knee injuries.

Wednesday's game marks the third of four meetings between the teams this season. The series is tied 1-1, with the Mavericks having notched a 113-100 win Jan. 4 and the Rockets having countered with a 133-108 victory Jan. 23.
