Coming off an uninspiring victory against the woefully shorthanded New Orleans Pelicans, the Orlando Magic welcome yet another shorthanded team, the Dallas Mavericks, to the Amway Center.
Despite putting together what was one of their best all-around defensive performances of the season against the Anthony Davis-less Pelicans, the Magic left the building with their heads hanging after letting the Pelicans make it a close game. Now, with Dallas, minus Dirk Nowitzki, J.J. Barea, Deron Williams and Devin Harris in town, the Magic will look to do what they couldn't on Wednesday night: win convincingly. Winning in the NBA isn't easy, no matter the opponent, but when your opponent is down four key rotational players, two of them being starters, you have to step up and take control.
Game time is set for 7:00 PM. The game can be seen on FoxSports Florida, and heard on ESPN580 Orlando.
