The Dallas Mavericks will test their seven-game winning streak on Sunday night when they head to Indiana to take on Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers.
The Pacers and Mavericks are competing for a playoff spot in their respective conferences, but it's Dallas that has been doing well since the trade deadline, moving into sixth place in the Western Conference.
The Mavs are a slim favorite going into Sunday's trip, which is a good sign of important trends for the team this season.

Mavericks injury report
Pacers injury report
dallas mavericks
Luka Doncic: Luka Doncic scored 41 points in a blowout win against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night. Now he will face an Indiana team that plays at a fast pace and doesn't defend at a high level. This could be a big game for Doncic if Nesmith is out.

Tyrese Haliburton: Haliburton returned to his usual game, scoring 25 points and dishing out 13 assists in his final game. He has earned 11 or more dimes in five straight games, four of which were the first times he played more than 30 minutes since his hamstring injury. He's a great prop target on Sunday.
If there's one thing to watch about the Mavericks this season, it's when they're road favorites.
Dallas is the road favorite this season with an NBA-best 11-2 record against the spread. The Pacers have had a great run as home underdogs (7-3-1 ATS), but there are concerns that Indiana's defense, which ranks 26th in the NBA in defensive rating, is slowing down a healthy Mavs team. There is.
Although these teams haven't played yet this season, Dallas has good chemistry with the Pacers, especially since the team added P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford at the trade deadline.
What's more, the Mavericks come into this game having won seven straight games, long before the All-Star break. This should be a fun offensive showcase, but I think Dallas gets the win on the road.
