Luka Doncic is averaging 28.6 points and 9.1 assists while Kristaps Porzingis is averaging 20 points and 8.6 rebounds.

The Pacers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games and 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games overall. The Mavericks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS win. The over is 6-1 in Pacers last 7 overall. The under is 10-4 in Mavericks last 14 overall. The Pacers are 2-6 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
The Indiana Pacers continue to run hot and cold this season and aren't a team I'm running to the window to back on the road or against respectable teams. The Dallas Mavericks have not only won 10 of their last 14 contests, but they're winning their last five games by an average of 12 points while shooting 51.7 percent from the field. The Pacers lose in the underdog role by an average of 4.3 points. I'll lay the reasonable chalk with the Mavs at home.
