Mavs and Pacers have split their season series for 5 straight seasons. Making it 6 would be a good thing from the Mavs perspective tonight after Dallas lost at Indiana 133-111 just 9 days ago. Tipoff of Indy and Dallas at @AACenter coming up at 740p on BSSW. – 8:11 PM

Nice to see Pacers assistant coach @jboucek tonight — and daughter Rylie, who informed me she’s now 5-and-a-half. #notpossible
She was ready to choose motherhood over an NBA career. Now she’s blazing dual trails as the Mavericks’ first female coach. dallasnews.com/sports/maveric…6:15 PM

Doug McDermott is out tonight in Dallas (8:30pm ET), his fourth straight game missed due to a right calf sprain.
Mathurin (left foot soreness), Nesmith (left quad bruise) and Sheppard (illness) are all questionable.
Luka Doncic is also questionable with an ankle sprain. – 5:54 PM
Tim Cato @tim_cato
me + @garooya + @mikelikessports tried to figure out what’s true and false about Tim Hardaway Jr.’s miserable slump, and then dove into some bigger picture thoughts about Kidd’s coaching.
