Dallas Mavericks vs Orlando Magic preview

The Mavs are coming off of a 128-113 loss to the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Naji Marshall led the team with 38 points. The good news for Dallas is that Anthony Davis returned to the lineup on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets. He had 12 points in a 120-101 win. Davis is questionable for Thursday’s game.

Dallas is tied with the Phoenix Suns in terms of record but is behind in the standings because of head-to-head record. The Mavs have won just three of the past 10 games and need to be near perfect with just nine games left on the season.

The Magic are on a three-game win streak and have won six of the past 10 games. They are coming off a 111-104 win against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. Paolo Banchero led the team with 32 points, while Franz Wagner played the perfect second fiddle with 26 points.

Orlando has a 2.5-game lead over the Chicago Bulls for the eighth spot. If it can secure the eighth spot, it will have two shots at making the playoffs from the play-in tournament.
