Sunday Night Primetime Matchup: Orlando Magic Hosts Dallas Mavericks
The Orlando Magic will host the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night in a primetime matchup. The Magic are coming off a 113-109 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night, while the Mavericks are coming off a 112-98 loss to the Miami Heat on Saturday night.
Magic Look to Continue Momentum Against Mavericks
The Magic have won two of their last three games and are looking to build on that momentum against the Mavericks. Orlando is led by Rookie of the Year candidate Paolo Banchero, who is averaging 20.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. The Magic also have a solid supporting cast in Franz Wagner, Wendell Carter Jr., and Jalen Suggs.
Mavericks Aim to Bounce Back After Loss to Heat
The Mavericks are coming off a disappointing loss to the Heat on Saturday night. Dallas was led by Luka Doncic, who had 24 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists. However, the Mavericks shot just 41.7% from the field and 26.7% from three-point range.
Predictions, Odds, and Picks
The Mavericks are favored by 6.5 points in this matchup, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 224.5 points.
I predict that the Mavericks will win this game and cover the spread. Dallas has a more talented roster than the Magic, and they should be able to bounce back from their loss to the Heat.
My pick: Mavericks -6.5
