The Mavericks have lost three of their last four games, including a loss to the same Indiana team they face tonight. This game is a must-win, and the Mavericks can’t have any fun early. Indiana has an offense that can go nuclear, and Dallas needs to come out strong to control the game.

This game will be a barn burner. Dallas’ defense has been putrid since the break and Indiana is a high-scoring team. The offense won’t miss, taking over with 246.5 points.
Gamer Accessories
- Luka Doncic on 34.5 points (-105)
- Tyrese Haliburton less than 18.5 points (+100)
Doncic gets a great matchup against bad defensive guards and bigs that he can take advantage of on a shift. He should have 40 points tonight in a solid win.
Haliburton hasn’t scored the ball as much as he was earlier this year. He’s only crossed that line once since the All-Star break, and it’s likely the injury he’s been sidelined with for a while will linger. The Mavericks should be able to keep him under 19 points.
Game of the day
- Mavericks Alternate Spread -5.5 (+100)
Dallas will win the game by a good margin. They need a win for their morale and position in the Western Conference, and Luka Doncic will make sure that happens easily.
