(SportsNetwork.com) - Two Southwest Division, as well as inter-state rivals, the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets will tangle Wednesday night at the Toyota Center. The Rockets have won two in a row and they came at the back end of a three- game road trip. After a loss to the Golden State Warriors, the Rockets defeated the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers. James Harden tallied 37 points with eight rebounds and five assists to lead the Rockets against the Lakers on Sunday night. LA was without Kobe Bryant, who has a torn rotator cuff. The Rockets played without Dwight Howard, who missed the game against his former team with a right ankle sprain. Josh Smith and Jason Terry each came off the bench to score 11 points, while Corey Brewer had 10 in a reserve role for the Rockets. Harden netted seven points over the first five minutes and Houston went up 14-6 on Patrick Beverleys 3-pointer. Josh Smith hit a 3 late in the quarter to put the Rockets up 15 and they led 30-15 after 12 minutes. Harden notched 13 points in the opening frame. It helps our defensive mentality, Harden said when asked about the teams fast start. The Rockets are home for only one game before hitting the road against the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons. The Mavericks have lost three in a row and hit the road for three straight. Dallas will visit the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic, starting Friday and ending Saturday. On Tuesday, the Mavs got clobbered by the Memphis Grizzlies, 109-90, at home. Monta Ellis and Chandler Parsons each put in 19 points for the Mavericks, who have dropped a season-high three consecutive contests. Dirk Nowitzki added 11 and Tyson Chandler finished with 10 points. Poor decision-making ... it was our downfall tonight, Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. The Mavericks committed 16 turnovers, which led to 21 points from the Grizzlies. Memphis shot 53.2 percent from the floor and 47.6 percent from long range. To make the loss worse, the Grizzlies were without Mike Conley and Tony Allen in the win. The Rockets won the first meeting between the two teams this season - a three- point victory in Houston. The rivals will meet in Dallas on Feb. 20 and April 2. Houston has won three of the last four encounters in Space City, but the Mavs are 6-4 in the last 10 games in Houston. Christian Kirk Womens Jersey .

The Australian, recognised as one of the sports most affable and talented drivers, cast a downbeat figure in the grand prixs aftermath after his hopes of winning F1s showpiece race for the first time unravelled when Red Bull botched his final pit stop.Ricciardo claimed his first career pole in Monaco, but has not won since three breakthrough victories in 2014. Sundays second-place finish was also just his third podium in the last 27 races. And, five years after making his F1 debut, Ricciardo feels he should have more to show for his career to date.Ive had my head held high all season, he told Sky Sports News HQ.Part of the frustrating thing is that I really do believe, and Ive believed it for a long time - I dont want to say it because its arrogant - but I believe a lot in my ability, lets just say that. And I should be getting more rewarded. Red Bull didnt have the tyres ready for Daniel Ricciardos second pit stop, allowing Lewis Hamilton to take the lead of the Monaco GP Im 27 very soon and I dont even have anything close to a world title and I believe I should have something like that very soon. Two weeks now, it could have been two wins and its not.

Red Bull Motorsport advisor Dr Helmut Marko believes his team handed the Monaco GP to Mercedes I think I took Barcelona on the chin and then took it well but two in a row now, and its not like were in Mercedes position, were not able to win a race, so to have an opportunity to lead two races in a row and especially here in Monaco… he said in the post-race press conference.The F1 Gossip ColumnObviously a big part of it is relying on the team and the strategy but yeah, to get it wrong twice now it definitely hurts.
