Indiana Pacers vs Dallas Mavericks Odds and Prediction: Game Preview

Indiana Pacers:

The Pacers are currently 13^th in the east with an 11-16 record. The Pacers are coming off two impressive wins against the Wizards and the knicks. The Pacers will be without their Head Coach Rick Carlisle as he entered the health and safety protocols, after testing positive for Covid-19 on a rapid test, Llyod Pierce will fill in.

The Pacers are 2^nd in the league in Blocks Per Game in the league with 6.1 BPG. They average 23.8 APG which is 13^th in the league. Their Problem is their clutch performance. They have been involved in 15 clutch games so far, they have only won three of them. In the clutch moment, they have an offensive rating of just 92.5 and a defensive rating of 114.5.

Dallas Mavericks:

The Dallas Mavericks have not hit their ceiling yet, they were expected to be one of the top teams in the league at the start of the season. But they are currently struggling with a 12-12 record, and they are 6^th in the west right now. The rule change has certainly had an effect on Luka Doncic game. His free throw attempts have dipped from 7.1 FTA last season to 5.6 FTA this year.

The Mavs have the second-lowest turnovers per game in the season so far. They average 12.3 turnovers per game. The Mavs are not a good rebounding team, they are ranked 28^th in the league in Rebounds Per Game. They have not performed well in clutch moments as well. They have the second-worst defensive rating in the clutch moments. They have been involved in 11 clutch games so far they have won 6 out of the 11 games.

The Mavs still have their core of Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis, and Tim Hardaway Jr. but the problem with the Mavs is they have been inconsistent so far this season. If the Mavs can stay healthy and if they can find their strides, then they can be a tough team to beat.

Dallas Mavericks vs Indiana Pacers Predicted Winner

The Mavericks are off to an inconsistent start, and they are still struggling to hit their full potential, they have lost 7 out of their last 10 games, but they had a moral lifting win against the Grizzlies on Wednesday. They would like to build on that win and further extend their winning streak.

The Pacers on the other hand are back on the winning ways. They have two great wins in the last two games.  They are a really good home team they have won 8 out of 14 games they played at home. So, considering recent form and the home-court advantage of the Pacers, the Pacers should edge past the Mavericks on Friday.
