Shooting guard Bennedict Mathurin led the team with 19 points. However, their defense allowed the Pelicans to shoot at a high percentage. The Pacers have shown promise on offense this season, ranking near the top in scoring and shooting percentage, but they need to improve defensively, currently ranking at the bottom in points allowed and rebounds per game.

The Dallas Mavericks recently lost to the Houston Rockets, despite a strong offensive performance led by Luka Doncic. The team's offensive statistics for the season indicate room for improvement, as they are below average in scoring, shooting percentage, and three-point shooting. However, their defense has been impressive, ranking seventh in the league in points allowed and opposing shooting percentage. Despite injuries to key players Maxi Kleber and Dante Exum, the Mavericks have shown promise and have a power ranking of 8. Their next matchup is against the Indiana Pacers, who have struggled against Dallas in their last three meetings. The Mavericks will need to improve their offensive consistency to become a more formidable opponent this season.
