Favored again! 5-1 ATS (against the spread). I think we make it 6-1.

Consistency from Goga and Black is something to watch for.

Dallas has played very well to start the year so this will be a tough one no doubt. Luka is a given. Kyrie hasn't played the best this year but he has always killed us during his career so definitely have to limit him as best as we can tonight. Continue to play hard, win the rebounding battle and push that pace and we will get this W...LET'S GO MAGIC!

I am very excited about this game tonight. Hope the crowd brings the energy tonight in Amway and the players feed off it

Looking forward to Jalen on Kyrie.

Also, have a odd feeling Lively II is going to feast on Goga/Mo

Catching the Mavs on the second night of a road back to back is a nice little edge. Good shot at winning tonight, though you never know with guys like Luka and Kyrie when they could just go off. And Luka is the guy who will make the most insane shots at any moment. Magic need to come prepared and play solid defense all night with that good energy they've been showing so far.

I am shocked we are favored. I like how we matchup but Luka and Kyrie are really good. Hopefully AB and Suggs are able to limit them.
Keep Isaac

Jonathan Isaac (sore hamstring) is questionable and will be a game-time decision.


Love him, but this is getting old every. single. night.

Should be a pretty good test. Feel like we match up pretty well. One of Suggs/Black/Franz have to be on Kyrie and Luka, might have to hide Cole in this one. Paolo needs to make sure Grant Williams doesnt go off from 3...how did they get him so cheap.

Let's make Derrick Jones Jr and Lively beat us...easier said than done with Luka, but we've got big bodies to throw at Luka.

Give Okeke minutes. He played good defense against Luka for that one game last season.

You could see this coming with Isaac. Had a good first game, done nothing since. Only 10 mpg despite allegedly being healthy. It feels like this is mercifully almost over.

Really annoying, I'm ready to move on. I think the first objective for the upcoming retooling around Franz and Paolo will be to acquire role players with better health records.

Isaac's been defending well, even when the shots aren't falling. A sore hamstring isn't the end of the world. I wouldn't mind it if we hold him out to be safe.

The point really isn't that he has a sore hamstring. That happens.

It's that they've babied his minutes, held him out of the only back-to-back they've played, and he's still already feeling sore after just 5 games of very light work.

Is he feeling sore? I haven't heard that
