Indiana Pacers Preview
Indiana continues to score but hasn’t finished games well. The Pacers are averaging 116.0 points per game, led by Bennedict Mathurin’s average of 31.0 points per game and Pascal Siakam’s 26.0 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game. That duo has carried most of the load, with Mathurin attacking from the perimeter and Siakam controlling the paint. Indiana’s rebounding numbers have stayed strong at 49.3 per game, giving them second chances when shots aren’t dropping.
The problem has been shooting accuracy and defense. Indiana is shooting just 42.5 percent from the field and allowing opponents to score freely in transition. Siakam has done well keeping the ball moving, and Aaron Nesmith has given the team backcourt help, but turnovers and misses have kept them from closing tight games. Several guards are listed as game-time decisions, so the Pacers may again rely heavily on Siakam to create offense if Mathurin or Andrew Nembhard cannot go.
Dallas Mavericks Preview
Anthony Davis has been the centerpiece for Dallas, averaging 24.7 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 2.3 steals per game. Davis’ consistency around the rim and on the boards has kept the Mavericks competitive through a slow start. P.J. Washington adds 17.3 points and 7.0 rebounds, while Cooper Flagg, if cleared to play, is off to a strong start to his rookie season. Dallas is scoring 112.7 points per game while shooting 46.5%.

The backcourt has been steady but unspectacular. D’Angelo Russell averages 10.3 points and 4.0 assists, and Klay Thompson contributes 9.3 points while still finding his range from three. With Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II out, Davis will spend more time at center, which gives Dallas a clear advantage inside. The defense around the rim and control of the glass could be the difference against an Indiana team that has shot below average.
Indiana Pacers at Dallas Mavericks Prediction
Both teams can score, but Dallas has more reliable options in half-court offense and a proven big man inside. Indiana’s shot inconsistency and mistakes late in games make it hard to trust the Pacers on the road. Dallas will control the inside and use steady ball movement to win. Final Score Prediction: Dallas Mavericks win and cover ATS, 122–114.
