Buddy Hield And Myles Turner's Status For Mavs-Pacers Game

On Monday night, the Indiana Pacers are hosting the Dallas Mavericks in Indianapolis. 

For the game, they will be without two of their best players, as Buddy Hield and Myles Turner have both been ruled out.     

Underdog NBA: "Myles Turner (injury management) ruled out Monday."

Underdog NBA: "Buddy Hield (illness) now listed out Monday."

Turner is currently averaging 18.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.3 blocks per contest in 62 games while shooting 54.8% from the field and 37.3% from the three-point range. 

Meanwhile, Hield has averages of 16.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals per contest in 75 games while shooting 45.4% from the field and 42.1% from the three-point range. 

The Pacers got off to a very good start to the season but went cold over the last two months. 

Therefore, they will likely miss the NBA Playoffs for the third straight season. 

Right now, the Pacers are tied with the Washington Wizards for the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference and have a 33-42 record in 75 games. 

They are on a two-game losing streak and 4-6 in their last ten games.

At home, the Pacers have been solid, going 19-17 in the 36 games they have hosted in Indianapolis. 

As for the Mavs, they are the seventh seed in the Western Conference with a 36-39 record in 75 games. 

They are on a four-game losing streak and 3-7 in their last ten games.

On the road, the Mavs have gone 14-23 in 37 games away from Dallas.
