Magic vs. Mavericks GAMEDAY Preview: How to Watch, Injury Report, Betting Odds /

In this story:

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic, fresh off a big win at home against the Phoenix Suns, now embark on a four-game road trip beginning tonight against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavs, unlike the Magic, lost yesterday at home to the Sacramento Kings and will look to pick up the pieces and get back in the win column.

Earlier this season, the Mavericks beat the Magic in Orlando 117-102, but that was with Kyrie Irving in the lineup. Irving is out with a thumb injury and the Mavs are only 10-9 when he's sidelined this season. Perhaps the Magic can even the season series and start their road trip on the right foot.
