Indiana Pacers vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Monday, 11/04/24

The Pacers are in dire need of a result as they head to Dallas to take on the Mavs. Who will prevail in this East vs West matchup? Let’s dive into my Pacers vs Mavericks predictions, where I’m expecting this one to descend into a shootout. Indiana has been all over the place in their last 6 games. One night they’ll beat the defending champion Celtics, then the other night they’ll lose to the inconsistent New Orleans Pelicans. The alarm clocks haven’t gone off just yet, but if the situation doesn’t improve they might. Against the Mavs today they have a solid opportunity to grab a win, and in the last 7 meetings between the pair Indy is 5-2 SU/ATS. They play at a much faster pace and average almost 15 points per game more than their opponent.

Just when we thought the Mavericks might mean business, they blow an important home game against the Houston Rockets on Thursday night. However, at 3-1 in home games, they’ll be optimistic heading into their game against the Pacers here. Rebounding has been an ongoing problem for Dallas, with opponents averaging 59.2 boards per game against them this season. The good news is that Indiana is also struggling in this department, ranking 24th. Indiana loves a high-scoring game. They’re averaging over 122 points in their last 3 outings, while also giving up 123.4 per game in their last 5 games. Both teams will likely play small, which should increase the tempo of the game. The trends are also pointing to a high-scoring game with 9 of the last 11 meetings in Dallas cashing on the Over. Let’s stick with that.
