The Dallas Mavericks (36-39, 28-44-3 ATS, 39-35 O/U) meet with the Indiana Pacers (33-42, 39-36 ATS, 38-36 O/U) in an inter-conference bout on Monday evening. The Mavericks were charged with a road loss by the Hornets on Sunday. The Pacers were dealt a road loss by the Hawks in their previous clash. The Pacers earned a 124-122 road win in the lone meeting last month.
The Dallas Mavericks are in the early stages of a long road trip. Dallas has been slipping recently, losing four consecutive games. They lost a disappointing 117-109 decision to the Hornets on Friday and struggled again in a rough 110-104 road loss in Sunday’s rematch in a bout that had the Mavs as huge 13-point favorites. The Mavericks dipped 11th in the conference and are in danger of missing the play-in round. They are 3-7 in their last ten games and have covered in one of their last three road games.
Luka Doncic continues to deliver, sinking at least 30 points in all but two games this month. The 24-year-old point guard is sporting an average of 32.9 PPG and 8.6 RPG. He accumulated 39 points in the lone meeting against the Pacers. Kyrie Irving wasn’t at his best in Sunday’s loss but has been productive since arriving in the trade last month. The veteran point guard has reac hed 30 points in five of his last eight games and is averaging 27.2 PPG and 5.5 APG. Tim Hardaway Jr. returned to action Sunday after missing a few games, sinking 15 points. The veteran small forward has posted an average of 14 PPG.
