Insider status:
evaluation:
The Pacers' defense has been terrible so far this season, and the Mavs' D has not impressed at all. We can expect a close battle that could go either way. It's hard to trust these two teams, but I'm picking the Pacers just because they beat the Mavericks nine days before him. Indiana shot 55.9 percent from the field and defeated Dallas 48-36 in the paint.
Indiana's offensive line has struggled in the last two games. A matchup with the Mavericks could be a good opportunity for the Pacers to get back on track. Indiana is 4-2 ATS and SU in the last six meetings with Dallas.
Prediction: Win Indiana Pacers +4.5 (-110)

evaluation:
The line is set very high, but I have to take over. As mentioned, these two teams are hard to stop, and both teams have some very dangerous offensive weapons. This is their first match of the season, and both teams have a total of 244 points, so I hope they can improve even a little in this match.
The Pacers play at the second-fastest pace in the league, with 102.3 possessions per 48 minutes. The Mavericks are averaging 100.4 possessions per 48 minutes, which ranks seventh in that category. Eight of the past 10 meetings between the Pacers and Mavs in Dallas have resulted in a total over.
Prediction: Over 248.5 points (-110)
