The Pacers suffered a two-game losing streak with a 105-117 loss to the Spurs in their last game and the third in their last four. The main reason for the team's ups and downs is because of the sluggishness on the offensive end, as the league's best offensive team, the Pacers win more by firepower, and they have not even scored more than 105 points in the last two games, especially Haliburton's sluggish state, and the Pacers urgently need to adjust.
The Mavericks currently sit in eighth place in the West with a 34-27 record and a 6-4 record in their last 10 games, but the recent two-game losing streak puts the team in a struggling position in the West. In the last game, the Mavericks lost to the 76ers 116-120, Doncic cut a triple-double of 38 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and Irving also had 28 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, but the 76ers were dominated by the first quarter.
After all, the Mavericks have the existence of Doncic and Irving, and the team's offense on the court will not have any big problems, even if their teammates are in average condition, Doncic and Irving can also help the team continue to score with their super individual hard solving ability, while the Pacers are different, losing the original smooth offense, and now the whole team is struggling, Haliburton has not been able to regain the state for a long time, once Siakam has a bad hand, the Pacers have no one to score, this is optimistic about the Mavericks.
