Dallas Mavericks vs Indiana Pacers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 23, 2026

A 241.5 market total looked ambitious from the opening tip, as Dallas and Indiana's opening quarter combined for just 71 points—well below the pace needed to challenge the number. The Mavericks' explosive start, with 44 points in Q1 alone, appeared to set the tone for an offensive affair, but Indiana's sluggish 27-point opening quarter and the combined Q2 output of just 49 points made clear that neither team would sustain that early burst. By halftime, 120 combined points had been scored—a full 12.5 points short of the under line.

The second half followed suit. Q3 brought 54 combined points, and Q4 added just 52, as both defenses tightened and offensive execution deteriorated. Dallas closed out a 121–105 road victory behind Kyrie Irving's 24 points, 3 assists and P.J. Washington's 20 points and 13 rebounds. Pascal Siakam led Indiana with 23 points, while Tyrese Haliburton added 18 points and 7 assists in the losing effort. The combined final of 226 fell 15.5 points short of the pregame total—DAGGER's under call cashed cleanly, backed by live-betting adjustments that also landed on the correct side.
