Dallas Mavericks at Indiana Pacers Tips & Live Stream - Pacers to blow out free-falling Mavericks

There’s about a month left in the NBA regular season, and while some teams have a clear path ahead, others are still in limbo.

Can the Pacers keep up with the Bucks in the race for the 4th seed in the East? And do the Mavericks have any realistic shot at sneaking into 10th place in the West?

Indiana Pacers Form & Team News

The Pacers have likely secured a direct playoff spot, with their position between 4th and 6th still to be determined.

They picked up a crucial 132-130 overtime win on the road against a strong Timberwolves team in their last outing.

With Pascal Siakam sidelined due to injury, Obi Toppin stepped up with a fantastic 34 points and 10 rebounds, while Bennedict Mathurin added 22 points.

Indiana has won four straight home games and holds a solid 20-10 record in Indianapolis.

Siakam remains out for personal reasons, while Isaiah Jackson is sidelined with an Achilles injury.

Dallas Mavericks Form & Team News

Ever since that shocking trade, which sent Luka Dončić and a superstar to the Lakers, everything has gone downhill for the Dallas Mavericks, with misfortune piling up one after another.

After Anthony Davis went down with a season-ending injury, the domino effect followed—Gafford, Lively, Exum, and finally, their best remaining player, Kyrie Irving, who suffered a serious knee injury.

A team once contending for the top of the West has now slipped to 10th place, and with the Suns just one win behind, even holding onto that spot is in question.

Their struggles continued in the last game, falling 130-125 at home to the Sixers. Over the past 12 games, they've managed just two wins.

Head to Head

The Pacers won their first meeting of the season against Dallas on the road, 134-127, and have now won three straight games against their Texas rivals.
