Dallas fell 122-106 to San Antonio in its home opener, with Kyrie Irving held out for injury management and Cooper Flagg sidelined again after Friday's injury.
Houston controlled 89 percent of the night in San Antonio, winning while Fred VanVleet helped the offense and the rebounding battle turned into a trench fight.
Dallas earned its first win, beating Indiana 121-105, as Kyrie Irving scored 24 points before fouling out late and passing Mark Aguirre on the scoring list.
With the season only starting, contract questions already surround Giannis Antetokounmpo and Karl-Anthony Towns, and neither situation has reached a resolution.
