The Rockets wrap up their three-game road trip Thursday when they square off against the Mavericks. The season’s first two games were split between two teams, and both won on the road.
Latest news on Luka Doncic and Reggie Bullock
The Mavericks extended their winning streak to four games this past Tuesday, outlasting the Knicks 126-121 in overtime.
Luka Doncic finished with a career-high and Dallas franchise-record 60 points (21-31 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 16-22 FT), 21 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, and one block in 47 minutes against the Knicks on Tuesday.
Though triple-doubles are nothing new for Doncic, his performance on Tuesday was historic; no player in NBA history had previously surpassed 60 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 assists in a single game.
Doncic set a personal-best in rebounds in addition to his career-high scoring total, and he supplemented that output with defensive stats and elite field-goal shooting.
The Mavericks injury reports: Reggie Bullock, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Josh Green are all questionable for this game due to injuries.
Finney-hip Smith’s injury has kept him from playing in the last three games, and it will keep him out for at least a few more. Meanwhile, Reggie Bullock is questionable for Thursday’s game.

After snapping a five-game losing streak with a 133-118 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday, the Houston Rockets lost again on the second night of a back-to-back. They were defeated 126-102 by the Boston Celtics.
Jae’Sean Tate and Eric Gordon are both questionable for this game due to injuries.
Jae’Sean Tate has not played since October 30 due to right knee pain. He is expected to return soon, so his precarious situation is a good predictor of his future availability.
