But with the NBA season currently shut down indefinitely because of the coronavirus pandemic, Morey has time to focus on other things.I’m writing this preview before the Rockets take on the Lakers, so if anything crazy happens in that game I won’t be mentioning it here. FT Tucker makes 23-foot three point jumper (Russell Westbrook assists)Ben McLemore makes 24-foot three point jumper (Russell Westbrook assists)Russell Westbrook misses 28-foot three point pullup jump shotP.J. With a win tonight, the Rockets would make it eight straight victories against the Mavs and earn their second straight season sweep.It might just be March 2nd, and there’s a long way to go until the postseason becomes a reality. It was the final scrimmage before the NBA’s restart officially kicks off. The greatest difference, he said, is with the style of play of the times....The pre-restart training camp Mike D'Antoni so eagerly anticipated for the Houston Rockets -- a team remodeled midseason with a drastic shift in philosophy to microball -- never really materialized. FT The NBA’s re-launch amid the coronavirus pandemic has been a success so far, with the bubble staying intact as teams gear up for an NBA Playoffs without fans. And yet, as these two teams meet in Houston tonight, the Mavericks are 10th in the West with a 9-9 record and the Rockets are somehow 13th, with a 9-10 record.On March 11, the NBA suspended its season after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for coronavirus. Dallas will be heading into Orlando down a few significant pieces, as Dwight Powell is still rehabbing from a torn ACL and Jalen Brunson underwent shoulder surgery in March. Two of the three teams the Mavs will scrimmage against before the restart of the season are mentioned as possible winners of this year’s NBA championship.It's safe to say that when the NBA season resumes on July 30, we won't know what kind of basketball we'll be getting. The Warriors beat the Rockets in seven games in the 2018 Western Conference finals.

We’ve had three scrimmages which felt a lot better than I expect.
3 aug 2020 Lately: The Rockets dropped both games of a road trip, losing to the Nuggets and Clippers. For their part, the Rockets will still be down Trevor Ariza and have yet to officially announce the signings of Joe Johnson and Brandan Wright, but they'll have significantly more firepower on the court tonight than Dallas and should be able to take this one, especially at home.
