Before the 2019-20 season was suspended, both Rockets and Mavericks were looking at a possible extended postseason run. During an interview after the scrimmages, Rockets' star guard James Harden spoke about the exhibition giving them opportunities to work on their defence and offence before they resume play. Harden is currently leading the league in scoring with 34.4 points per game. The Rockets will be without Eric Gordon (left ankle sprain), who is sidelined for two weeks. While the Mavericks rank below the Rockets on the Western Conference table, they are first in efficiency with 115.8 points per 100 possessions along with star Luka Doncic, who is an MVP candidate this year.
