The Pacers are coming into this game with a 34-28 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 4 games and 2 of their losses in that span came against teams with losing records, including a loss against one of the worst teams in the league in the Spurs in their last game. They have been much worse on the road this season as they are 14-16 and they have also lost their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 4 games on the road. They are going up against a Mavericks team that is 34-27 this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games, but 4 of those 5 of those games were also part of a road trip that they were on. They have been slightly better at home this season at 18-14 but they have been much better there in their recent games as they have won 4 of their last 5 games there with some good wins over the Thunder and the Suns in that span as well. All 4 of those wins at home were by 8+ points as well. The Mavericks have not been playing well as they lost 3 of their 4 games on their road trip and are now coming off of a loss at home in their last game which was their 1st game back from the road trip, but they are going to be hungry to bounce back here after that loss and they will also be coming for some revenge since their road trip actually started with a 22 point loss in Indiana which they will be looking to get the Pacers back for. That loss is still fresh in their minds as it was just over a week ago on February 25 and the Mavericks are going to get up for this bounce back game as they are 9-1 ATS this season when coming off of an upset loss as a favorite. The Mavericks are going to cover the spread in this game.
