On October 30, the Mavericks played against the Pacers at home. At the end of the game, the Mavericks successfully defeated the Pacers 107-105. The Pacers have suffered injuries this season. Under such circumstances, the Pacers have performed poorly. So far this season, the Pacers have not won a single victory. Now, the Pacers have lost three games in a row and are ranked 14th in the Eastern Conference. Although the Mavericks' paper lineup is good, the Mavericks performed poorly after the start of the season, and Flagg's performance did not meet expectations. Although this is related to Kidd letting Flagg play the role of organization, it is an indisputable fact that Flagg's offensive state is not good. Now the Mavericks have 1 win and 3 losses, ranking 14th in the Western Conference. In this game, the Mavericks started with: Flagg, Christie, Klay, Washington and Big Eyebrow, and the Pacers started with: Shepard, Nesmith, Siakam, Walker and Jackson.

In the first quarter, Siakam scored a tip-in. After Flagg dunked, Washington hit a mid-range shot. After Jackson scored a layup, Walker hit a three-pointer. Originally, the Mavericks were still clinging to the score, but then the Mavericks gradually made mistakes in their offensive attack. The Pacers seized the opportunity and once led to 9 points. Hardy and Russell chased points at the end of the game. At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks trailed by 5 points. In the second quarter, Williams scored a layup, and the Pacers hit a 7-0 wave. After Flagg scored to stop the bleeding, Dennis hit a three-pointer. Marshall made 2 of 2 free throws and McClung scored 3+1. The two teams played closely in the next game, but the Pacers' offense was cut off later. Clay and Christie hit three-pointers one after another. After Williams scored, the Mavericks caught up with only 2 points. Siakam scored to stabilize the situation in the final stage. Powell made 2 of 2 free throws at the last moment. At the end of the half, the Mavericks fell behind by 3 points.

In the third quarter, Flagg hit a shot. After Washington made 1 of 2 free throws, Powell scored 2+1. After Walker made 2 of 2 free throws, Powell scored a dunk. After Huff hit a three-pointer, Siakam hit a mid-range shot. After Russell scored on a breakthrough throw, Siakam scored a layup. After Russell scored on a throw, the two teams were tied.

At the end of the period, Martin broke out with a three-pointer, Siakam struggled to score, and Williams scored with a throw at the last moment. At the end of the three quarters, the Mavericks led by 7 points. In the fourth quarter, the Mavericks led by 12 points, but then the Pacers played a 7-0 wave. Flagg stepped forward to stabilize the situation at the critical moment. Although Siakam scored to stop the bleeding, Flagg and Christie scored inside, and the Mavericks led to 12 points. After the timeout, the Pacers went on a 9-3 run. After Powell made 2 of 2 free throws, Siakam hit a three-pointer. Christie and Williams subsequently scored free throws. In the end, the Mavericks narrowly defeated the Pacers.

The Pacers had a difficult time in this game. When Marcelin and others suffered injuries, the only truly reliable player left for the Pacers was Siakam, and Siakam really tried his best in this game. Although Siakam had some flaws in free throws, Siakam also did what he should do in other aspects, but in the end Siakam was still difficult to save after scoring 27 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists. In this game, Nesmith once had a chance to win. Unfortunately, Nesmith's offensive status was too sluggish in this game, and he failed to shoot three-pointers at the last moment. At the end of the game, Nesmith scored 5 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist on 2-of-16 shots.

In the first quarter of this game, Nongmei left the game with a sprained foot and returned to the locker room for treatment. Later, the Mavericks officially announced that Nongmei would not return to this game due to soreness in his left calf. As for Clay's sluggish state in this game, Clay was also directly abandoned at the critical moment of the fourth quarter. At the end of the game, Clay scored 5 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist on 2 of 10 shots. Flagg, the top pick, has been questioned a lot recently. Flagg also played poorly after the start of the game, but in the fourth quarter, Flagg finally had an explosive performance. It can be said that when Flagg did not control the ball, Flagg was still able to perform well. At the end of the game, Flagg scored 15 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. In the fourth quarter, Flagg scored 7 points and 2 rebounds on 3-for-3 shooting.
