Through 3 Quarters

The Dallas Mavericks were the heavy favorites here for a reason. After three quarters it's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Indiana Pacers as Dallas lead 106-80.

Point guard Luka Doncic has led the way so far for the Mavericks, as he has posted a double-double on 28 points and 11 dimes along with six boards. Indiana has been relying on the performance of power forward Domantas Sabonis, who has dropped a double-double on 19 points and 14 rebounds in addition to seven assists. A double-double would be Sabonis' fifth in a row. Sabonis does need to be careful, however, as he is in foul trouble with four.

Halftime deficits have spelled doom for the Pacers, who haves lost 89% of the games in which they were down going into the the fourth quarter.

What to Know

The Dallas Mavericks will be returning home after a two-game road trip. They will take on the Indiana Pacers at 7 p.m. ET Saturday at American Airlines Center after having had a few days off. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

The Mavericks took their contest against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday by a conclusive 132-112 score. Dallas' point guard Jalen Brunson was one of the most active players for the team, posting a double-double on 20 points and 11 dimes along with six boards.

Meanwhile, it may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Indiana ultimately got the result they were hoping for on Friday with a 113-110 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Having forecasted a close victory for the Pacers, the oddsmakers were right on the money. It was another big night for their power forward Domantas Sabonis, who dropped a triple-double on 24 points, 18 rebounds, and ten assists. Sabonis now has five triple-doubles this year.

This next matchup looks promising for Dallas, who are favored by a full 10 points. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with the Mavericks, who are 24-24-1 against the spread.

Dallas ended up a good deal behind Indiana when they played in the teams' previous meeting last December, losing 106-93. Maybe Dallas will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
