Pacers vs. Mavericks: Game thread, lineups, odds, TV info and more
Before heading home to try to avenge their lopsided loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday, the Pacers (11-11) will wrap up their five-game west coast road trip tonight against the Dallas Mavericks.
The last time these two teams met, Myles Turner became the first Pacer since Jermaine O’Neal (back in 2001 against the Cleveland Cavaliers) to score at least 30 points in a game while grabbing 16 rebounds to go along with four blocked shots.
“In his second year, he’s already a terrific player,” Rick Carlisle told the Star-Telegram’s Dwain Price of Indiana’s 20-year-old starting center. “And yet, he’s really only scratched the surface of what I believe his long-range capabilities could be.”
