The Mavs are not in one of the best stretches of their campaign, as they have suffered losses of late. So much losing, in fact, that they are in real danger of missing the playoffs. That is also why this game against Indiana is huge for Dallas, which is playing the second leg of their five-game road trip. With Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving healthy again, the Mavs will have the top weapons they need to score a win in Indiana to start the new week. It’s also worth mentioning that Dallas has won three of its last five trips to Indiana, dating back to 2017, while also going 3-2 against the spread in those contests.
Indiana is still trying to make a late-season run to sneak into at least the Play-in Tournament picture in the Eastern Conference. Just like the Mavs, though, Indiana has also lost a bunch of games of late. Going 1-4 straight up in its last five outings. The Pacers have also lost both of their last two games, suffering a 120-95 defeat to the Boston Celtics in Beantown last Friday and a 143-130 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on the road last Saturday. They are coming back home for this date with the Mavs, though, so that’s one encouraging factor for Indiana, which beat late last February on the road, 124-22. Tyrese Haliburton scored 32 points and had six assists in that game for Indiana, which has seen the total hit the Over in all of its last five outings as the home team.
