Their star, Paul George, is still recovering from illness and should play limited minutes on the floor. Regardless, the Pacers should try and keep their momentum and force the pressure in order to overcome a tough team like the Mavericks.

Dallas are only 0.5 games ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies and 2.5 ahead of the Houston Rockets. The New Orleans Pelicans are continuing to struggle and are far behind as they place last.
With Dirk Nowitzki on the line-up, the Mavericks are always a very dangerous team. And with other players like Wesley Matthews and Deron Williams playing well despite only arriving during the summer, many are surprised with the capacity in which Dallas is working on at the moment.
