Game 1 is different for every team. Some struggle, and some come out fired up. Sometimes, game 1 of the season doesn’t mark how your season will go. But, it will certainly be interesting to see how the Mavs fare against a good Pacers team.
MVP candidate, Paul George, will look to get off to a good start in Game 1 for the Pacers. Harrison Barnes will be guarding him in his Mavericks debut and should provide a great match up to see how Barnes will play defense for this team.
Deron Williams will go up against new Pacer Jeff Teague in the starting lineup.
