Point Spread Pick for Dallas vs. Indiana
- Indiana Pacers to cover. (4 Units)
The Pacers have the edge here because they play well offensively at home, scoring 114 points per game at home, while making 46 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 77 percent of their free throws. Their rebounding has been good, and they grab more than 10 offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They protect the ball well at home and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Mavericks aren’t very good defensively, and they gave up more than 120 points per game in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Pacers. Take Indiana to cover the spread.
