The Mavs have won 10 straight meetings with the Magic in Dallas and need that trend to continue if they want to avoid losing five straight games for the first time in nine years.

A pretty good reason for the Mavericks’ home dominance over the Magic has been the play of Dirk Nowitzki. The Mavs’ best player has averaged 29.5 points and 10.2 rebounds in his last six overall games against Orlando.

Dwight Howard recorded his first career triple-double with 30 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 blocks in an easy 109-92 victory on Wednesday and will be standing in the way of a Mavs victory.

Despite not winning in Dallas since 1997, the Magic have been keeping backers happy with a 4-0 ATS record in the last four meetings there. Get your NBA basketball odds in the Bodog Sportsbook today.
