The Magic will be without Dallas native (and MMB favorite) Anthony Black. Jonathan Isaac will also miss this game due to illness.
The Mavericks are riding a 13 game home losing streak, which is pretty hard to do. They’ve also beaten the Orlando Magic 14 straight times, so if Dallas wins they snap one bad streak and keep another good one alive. There’s not a ton to watch for in this game. We’ll find something to talk about either way.
