The road Magic enter this contest coming off of a 113-93 home win over the Charlotte Hornets. It was their first win straight up on the new season.
The home Mavericks are coming off a 117-111 road (and quite frankly unexpected) straight-up loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
There’s a lot of motivation for Dallas to avenge the last loss. And to be honest…there’s not much motivation for Orlando to keep any sort of winning ways going.
Orlando Magic
Orlando has…officially won a game during the 2022-23 season! Fans rejoice!
Or…maybe not so much, since this team really isn’t supposed to win anything during the ultimate Tankathon for projected No. 1 draft pick, Victor Wembanyama.
Regardless: This team has a win under its belt, and that’s something to build feel-good culture, even if “winning culture” never quite enters the equation this season.
On the year, Orlando is the No. 27 team out of 30 in Offensive Efficiency, averaging just 104.8 points per 100 possessions. If you’re more familiar with raw stats, the team is scoring 105.7 points per contest—just good enough for 27th again.
Defensively, the Magic are giving up just 109.7 points per game. That number is good enough for eighth in the NBA.
In terms of advanced stats, the defense slips to No. 19 in the NBA in terms of Defensive Efficiency.
The Magic are giving up 110.5 points per 100 possessions.
Dallas Mavericks
On the season, the Dallas Mavericks are giving up 110.3 points per game. That number is good enough for 10th in the NBA, but that ranking slips to 17th when looking at Defensive Efficiency.
So far in 2022-23, the Mavs are giving up 109.6 points per 100 possessions.
Offensively, Dallas is scoring 120.5 points per game—the second-best mark on the on the year among all 30 teams.
In the advanced stats, Dallas is scoring 119.4 points per 100 possessions.
That number tops the entire league at No. 1 through the better part of two weeks of regular-season basketball.

- Magic are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.

Need we say more?
Mavericks win, and Mavericks get a convincing one led by—quite possibly—another 30-plus point triple-double.
I don’t have a crystal ball, but Luka feels like he has more magic on the horizon.
