Mavs-Magic Preview: 3 Key Factors to Consider in Dallas' Home Matchup
1. Luka Doncic's Dominance
Luka Doncic has been on a tear lately, averaging 33.3 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 8.9 assists over his last five games. He's been virtually unstoppable, and the Magic will need to find a way to contain him if they want to have any chance of winning.
2. The Mavs' 3-Point Shooting
The Mavs are one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the NBA, and they're hitting 37.5% from beyond the arc this season. The Magic aren't a great 3-point shooting team, so they'll need to find a way to limit the Mavs' opportunities from deep if they want to stay in the game.
3. The Magic's Defense
The Magic have struggled defensively this season, allowing opponents to score 119.1 points per game. They'll need to improve their defensive effort if they want to have any chance of slowing down the Mavs' high-powered offense.
