## Key points

- Dallas is tipped to cover a 3.5-point spread.
- Haliburton is out and McConnell is doubtful.
- The Mavericks have won their past two games comfortably.

## Summary

A betting preview backs Dallas to beat Indiana, arguing that the Mavericks have the stronger squad and a favourable matchup. It points to the Pacers’ lack of available point guards and Dallas’s recent comfortable wins as reasons to take the Mavericks by more than three points.

Indiana is 3-7 this season and has lost four of its past five; Tyrese Haliburton is out with a hamstring injury, while T.J. McConnell is a game-time decision with the same issue. Dallas is 6-4, with all its wins at home, and has beaten Utah by 12 and Brooklyn by almost 40 in its past two games. Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving are expected to be available, and Dallas won the teams’ previous meeting by 16.
