Dallas at Indiana

Dallas can score inside and out, a good matchup against Indiana with the Mavs ranked No. 3 in the NBA in scoring. Dallas has a winning road record and faces an Indiana team that is banged up and has lost four in a row at home. Indiana is currently out of the playoffs and struggled again the last game, a 111-107 loss at Milwaukee. The Pacers have been outscored in the first quarter in 10 consecutive games, including 34-15 on Thursday. They've scored no more than 15 points in the opening period in three straight contests. All-Star forward Paul George (broken leg) isn't quite ready to play, and Rodney Stuckey will miss a fourth consecutive game due to a sore left calf. The Pacers are 4-9 straight up at home against West opponents, so look for the visitors to win the game. Play Dallas on the moneyline.
