Indiana has won just three of its past 10 contests. After snapping their three-game losing streak, they are now 6-19 away, 12-13 at home and 12-12-1 ATS on the road.

Meanwhile, in the Mavericks’ 132-112 road win over the Trail Blazers on Wednesday, center Kristaps Porzingis scored a team-high 22 points in 27 minutes spent on the court. Guard Jalen Brunson ended his night with 20 points, 6.0 rebounds and 11 assists in 35 minutes played. As a result of this victory, Dallas has won seven of its last 10 games. The Mavs are 15-9 at home, 13-12 away and 11-12-1 ATS at home this season.

Referring to ESPN’s Basketball Power Index, the Mavericks have a 81.4% probability of winning. 

When factoring in prior head-to-head contests, in the previous three meetings, the Pacers are 2-1 against the Mavericks. On Dec. 10, 2021, the first meeting during this regular season, Indiana won 106-93 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. For right now, the odds are shifting to the home team. The Mavs last defeated them on Jan. 20, 2021, when they won 124-112 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

On another subject, Mavs’ guard Luka Doncic was outvoted on the starters list, pertaining to the 2022 All-Star Game. Of course, the Western Conference starters include LeBron James, Nikola Jokic, Andrew Wiggins, Stephen Curry and Ja Morant. The guard had a lot of competition.

Luka Doncic must wait to rubber-stamp his third consecutive All-Star appearance.
