The Dallas Mavericks pay a visit to the Orlando Magic at the Kia Center on Thursday night. Here’s a Dallas Mavericks vs Orlando Magic Prediction. This article will include a Dallas Mavericks vs Orlando Magic Pick.
Dallas Mavericks Betting Preview
The Dallas Mavericks have been in a slump as they’ve lost 10 of their last 13 games overall, and they will be hoping to bounce back here after getting routed by the Knicks in a 128-113 road defeat on Tuesday. Naji Marshall led the team with 38 points on 17 of 25 shooting, Brandon Williams added 22 points on seven of 11 shooting off the bench, while Spencer Dinwiddie chipped in with 13 points and seven assists. As a team, the Mavericks shot 53 percent from the field and six of 19 from the 3-point line. They got off to a great start and poured in 68 points in the first half, but they couldn’t maintain that pace. They saw their hard work go to waste in the third quarter, where they managed just 16 points to trail by as many as 26 points. The Mavericks will take on the Bulls after this game.
Orlando Magic Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have been a team on the rise as they’ve won six of their last nine games overall. They will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after sneaking past the Hornets in a 111-104 road win on Tuesday. Paolo Banchero led the team with 32 points, seven rebounds, and six assists, Franz Wagner added 26 points with eight rebounds and four assists, while Anthony Black chipped in with 20 points off the bench. As a team, the Magic shot 45 percent from the field and 13 of 42 from the 3-point line as they wasted an early 13-point lead and looked to be in trouble until they closed the final 1:58 on a 7-0 run to escape with the narrow win on the road. The Magic will face the Kings following this one.

Dallas Mavericks vs Orlando Magic Prediction
The Mavericks are still missing a bunch of players, including Kyrie Irving, PJ Washington, and Dereck Lively, who are all out, and Anthony Davis is listed as questionable, while the Magic are still playing without Jalen Suggs and Cole Anthony. The Mavericks have been one of the coldest teams in the league for a while now, and I am surprised that the bookies aren’t giving them more free points here. With that being said, I am sticking with the Magic to continue their resurgence with a comfortable win and cover at home against this depleted Mavericks squad.
