Expected score: Dallas Mavericks 94-92 Indiana Pacers
The Dallas Mavericks host the Indiana Pacers in an NBA matchup on November 10, 2026. Both teams enter off the back of Las Vegas Summer League competition, where they showed mixed results against quality opposition. The Mavericks will look to establish themselves at home, while the Pacers seek to bounce back from recent setbacks.
Team form
Dallas Mavericks
Dallas has won 3 of their last 5 Summer League games, averaging 92.6 points per game while allowing 91.0. They opened with two road victories over Oklahoma City and Memphis before losing to the Lakers and Warriors. The Mavericks showed they can compete with elite teams but also demonstrated vulnerability on the road. At home, they'll be keen to tighten their defence and control the tempo.
Indiana Pacers
Indiana finished their Summer League slate with a 2-2 record across four games, scoring 95.3 points per game and conceding 93.5. They secured wins over New Orleans and Cleveland but fell short against Minnesota and Toronto. The Pacers' offence has been more prolific than Dallas in the sample, though their defence has been similarly inconsistent. They'll need to replicate their scoring touch on the road.

Key factors
Scoring efficiency will be crucial—both teams averaged in the low-to-mid 90s during their preparation games, suggesting a tight contest. Dallas's home-court advantage is a factor, though Summer League results offer limited predictive value for regular-season play. Indiana's slightly higher scoring average (95.3 vs 92.6) suggests they may have the offensive edge, but Dallas's home environment could help them control the game's pace. Defensive consistency has been a problem for both sides, so whichever team tightens up on that end will likely prevail.
Prediction
The Mavericks are favoured as the home team, and the expected points suggest a close affair. Dallas's home-court advantage and recent form—particularly their three-game winning streak—give them a slight edge. However, Indiana's offensive output in Summer League play and their ability to score efficiently means they remain competitive. The margin is expected to be minimal, reflecting the quality of both rosters.
Dallas are the favourite to win this matchup. Expect a tightly contested game where the Mavericks' home advantage tips the scales in their favour, but the Pacers should keep it competitive throughout. Both teams are capable of reaching the mid-90s in points, and the outcome may come down to which side executes better in the closing minutes.
