What to Know
The Pacers will be in front of their home fans on Sunday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They will take on the Dallas Mavericks at 5:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
We saw a pretty high 247.5-over/under line set for the Pacers’ previous contest, but the actual score was more down to earth. They strolled past Detroit with points to spare on Thursday, taking the game 129-115. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Pacers.
Tyrese Haliburton was his usual excellent self, dropping a double-double on 25 points and 13 assists. He hasn’t dropped below 11 assists for five straight games.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks entered their tilt with the Suns with six consecutive wins but they’ll enter their next game with seven. Dallas walked away with a 123-113 victory over the Suns on Thursday.
Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic were among the main playmakers for the Mavericks as the former scored 29 points along with five rebounds and the latter shot 6-for-11 from downtown and almost dropped a triple-double on 41 points, nine rebounds, and 11 assists. Doncic is on a roll when it comes to points, as he’s now scored 26 or more in the last six games he’s played.
Indiana is on a roll lately: they’ve won three of their last four matches, which provided a nice bump to their 32-25 record this season. As for Dallas, their win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 33-23.
Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as both teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. The Pacers haven’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 123.8 points per game (they’re ranked first in scoring overall). However, it’s not like the Mavericks struggle in that department as they’ve been averaging 118.7 points per game. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
The Pacers and the Mavericks pleased both fans and bettors in their last matchups by winning and covering the spread. As for their next game, the Mavericks are expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. They might be worth a quick bet since they’re sitting on a three game streak of covering the spread when playing on the road.

Braden Smith spent four seasons with Purdue basketball proving all the power conference programs who overlooked him missed out.
Now the former Boilermaker point guard has a chance to do the same in the NBA.
Smith, a Westfield native, is headed to the Pacers after Indiana traded for him when the Chicago Bulls selected him with the 38th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, a source confirmed to IndyStar.
Smith is Purdue’s third draft pick in five years, joining lottery picks Jaden Ivey and Zach Edey among a group of now 11 NBA draft selections to play at Purdue under Matt Painter.
Here’s a look at Smith’s Purdue career and what he brings to the Pacers.
Before capping a career that includes two Big Ten regular season and two Big Ten Tournament championships, along with helping Purdue end a 44-year Final Four drought, Smith broke former Duke guard Bobby Hurley’s all-time NCAA assists record.
Along the way, Smith took home the 2025 Bob Cousy Award as the nation’s top point guard in a season where he also was the Big Ten Player of the Year. A two-time consensus first-team All-American, Smith finished his Purdue career eighth in career points (1,932), third in steals (249) and has the top three assist seasons in school history that helped add to his NCAA record total of 1,103.
Smith’s knock is his 5-foot-10 1/2 height measurement, but that didn’t deter him from being one of college basketball’s top players.
What Smith lacked in height, he made up for in basketball IQ. He’s lethal with a midrange jump shot and showcased an unblockable fadeaway that allowed him to shoot over lengthier defenders. He mastered manipulating defenses while playing with marquee big men the last four seasons.
His role in the NBA likely will be not require him to be the team’s primary playmaker immediately. Smith’s awareness of that fact pushed a more defensive-minded approach in preparation for the next level. At the NBA Draft Combine in May, Smith showed he’s capable of defending elite guards.
Smith is an elite competitor who never showed to shy away from the dirty work, which is something that can help him earn NBA minutes as a rookie while trying to find his footing in an unfamiliar backup role.
