The Mavericks close out their opening home stand on Wednesday against the Pacers, hoping to rebound from a 1-3 start. Dallas showed flashes of brilliance with a strong win over Toronto but struggled to find offense in a loss to Oklahoma City, despite a late rally.
The Indiana Pacers enters winless at 0-3 and badly depleted by injuries, including the season-long absence of Tyrese Haliburton. With Rick Carlisle’s history of success against his former team, the Pacers will look to spoil Dallas’ push for early-season momentum.
