Indiana Pacers and Dallas Mavericks will clash on Friday night at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Pacers bounced back from their poor preseason run to put up a spirited performance against the Pelicans on Wednesday night. Tyrese Haliburton marked his long-awaited return with a double-double performance, tallying 23 points and 12 assists. But Pascal Siakam was the star of the show after notching 30 points and 8 rebounds. They looked great even without Nesmith and McConnel.
Dallas Mavericks, on the other side of the hardwood, were outscored 128-110 by Houston Rockets on the road on Wednesday night. On a brighter note, Dallas welcomed back Kyrie Irving, who spent the better part of last season on the sidelines with an injury. The reliable point guard played 24 minutes, contributing 15 points and 4 rebounds. Cooper Flagg scored 32 points, setting the record for the most points scored by a teenager in an NBA season opener.

Our Indiana Pacers vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
Indiana Pacers are the -240 betting favorites, whereas the Mavs are listed as the +175 underdogs. Tyrese Haliburton looked exactly like the player we saw during the 2024-25 season in their opening game against the Pelicans. Ivica Zubac is also proving to be one of the best centers Tyrese has played with. However, we think Dallas Mavericks will cover the +6.5 spread if Irving finds his groove. The veteran guard is capable of tallying double figures every time he plays, helping Flagg shoulder the team’s scoring burden. Let’s also mention that the Pacers have been giving up points later, conceding 128 points against the Bucks before their 3-point win over the Pelicans. Still, we expect them to dig deep and edge out the Mavs in a close contest.
Our prediction for Indiana Pacers vs Dallas Mavericks: Dallas Mavericks to cover the +6.5 spread.
