Pacers vs Mavericks Prediction

This is a lot of points for the Pacers when you see all of the key names on their injury report. I’d check for updates before betting on this spot. Either way, backing the Mavs isn’t an option. The Mavericks have an injury report like no other, and it’s taking its toll. The Mavericks have lost eight of their last 10 games and have failed to cover nine of those games.

There’s just no way you can back the Mavs with confidence when you consider the roster they’re playing night-to-night. The Pacers are 20-9 SU at home, and they need to take advantage of games like this if they’re going to get home court in the first round of the playoffs. Again, make sure Haliburton and Siakam are playing before getting involved. It’s still Pacers or pass.
