Monday's opponent, the Mavericks, have been a team that has struggled for the majority of the season, but still managed to hand the Pacers a loss during their previous meeting this season.
With Nowitzki continuing to be an effective player, the Mavericks offense has been buoyed by the play of Harrison Barnes (18.3 ppg) and rookie Dennis Smith Jr. (14.8 ppg).
The Mavs entered the All-Star break on a slide, however, losing 12 of their last 15 games before the stoppage.

Tough to win on the road in the association. But with our upcoming schedule... this is one we have to have. Going to get a lot tougher soon.

Rough schedule coming up with 1 day of rest max beween games. GRob couldn't have returned on a better moment.
Let us pray for everyone's health in this world, including our Pacers.

We should win this one, gotta crash the boards and exploit their weak rebounding.

Turner HAS to start being more assertive when he catches the ball down low. He can't continue to kick the ball back out when he has a smaller guy on him. Take it in, and use your size! So frustrating.

Dipo's foul trouble has cost us tonight.

Heck of a play between GR3 and Myles here. Great to see that GR3 still has that elevation and can finish strong inside. Nice pass by Myles too.

Lance shouldn't shoot 3s on the road.

So what I actually talked about isn't an issue? Come on, man. He's not going to reach his potential unless he's more aggressive.

just meant not an issue at that point tonight. if you meant the comment generally rather than about the early going tonight, we agree.

I thought both of our C's were going to tear it up but Sabo looked like the personification of Murphy's Law out there.
