Notes
The Mavs lead Memphis by only a half-game for 8th place in the West. Dallas does hold the tiebreaker for winning the season series. The Pacers have struggled of late, losing three in a row, the last two by a combined 48 points. The Mavericks allowed a season low 73 points in their win at Indiana. Their 81 points in that game was also their fewest in a win this year. Devin Harris was 4-6 from the field Friday against Portland. He had shot 6-32 in his six games prior.
