Why the Dallas Mavericks will win

• The Magic have lost each of their last 12 night games at American Airlines Center.
• The Mavericks have won each of their last 10 night games against Southeast Division opponents.
• The Mavericks have covered the spread in seven of their last eight games on the first leg of a back-to-back.
• The Magic have failed to cover the spread in six of their last seven road games against teams that held a winning record.

Orlando Magic vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction

The Dallas Mavericks have failed to cover 4 of their last 5 games, and they have hit to hit their stride offensively. The Orlando Magic are still down their best player in Paolo Banchero, and it’s not going to be easy to replace. I’m not sure the Magic have enough horses to keep up if the Mavs get rolling. I don’t love the big number, but I’m going to lean Mavs regardless, given the Magic down their young star.
