The Cowboys did their best to stay in the playoffs, but an avalanche of injuries hit the club just at the wrong time. Before the fight with Portland, Luka Doncic, who is a key player in Ricky Carlisle’s squad, was injured. Dallas won the last two meetings, because they made a sensation (136-132) in overtime of the match against Milwaukee and in the previous fight they dealt, unexpectedly, with Utah (122-114). Even though, the jazzmen controlled the course of events until the last quarter, that’s what it means to show character. The Mavericks completed one of their main event objectives, but the fun kicks off in the elimination games.
Indiana has been looking great lately. Pacers even managed to beat the Lakers (116-111). But all this became possible thanks to the phenomenal performance of T.J. Warren. For example, in the confrontation with the lake he has 39 points, five rebounds and one transfer. Most likely, he will not play in this game, as he received a slight injury. It is worth noting that the Pacers have yet to beat Miami this season. They lost two matches at once.
