Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
It’s funny when Luka Doncic has missed a few shots in a row and then makes one and throws his hands up and looks up to the ceiling like “thank you god” as if he’s under a curse and not already blessed with an unspeakable amount of talent. – 7:04 PM

Paolo Banchero is OUT tonight for the Magic against the Dallas Mavericks.

Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
Not counting tonight, the Magic had given up 50 more three-pointers than they’ve made through 11 games. That’s like starting every game down 14-0. Tough math problem to overcome. – 7:02 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Bol Bol looks just like his dad — gangly and awkward. Yet he’s averaged 13 points and 7.6 rebounds the last eight games and has 10 and 4 tonight against the Mavericks. – 6:58 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Bol Bol just grabbed a board, pushed it up, pulled up with his foot way over the line and airballed a three.
He’s an experience. – 6:57 PM

In Dallas’s defense, the “just get Luka to do everything” strategy kinda works. – 6:39 PM

Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavs
Luka range 👌 – 6:31 PM
Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
One reason Franz Wagner is so effective, and he makes the Magic so much better, is because when he gets the ball he’s going downhill to the basket. – 6:29 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Luka Doncic leads the NBA is scoring and probably also hitting his funny bone on the court. – 6:26 PM
Cody Taylor @CodyTaylorNBA
Bol Bol just drained his first 3-pointer of the night. He is up to 7 points and 4 rebounds.
This has been your Bol Bol update. – 6:23 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
I understood the idea of signing JaVale McGee, but he hasn’t delivered at his usual level. Powell replaced him as the starter, and JaVale had a pretty bad stint right now on both ends. Doesn’t seem to be impacting the game athletically. – 6:21 PM
Cody Taylor @CodyTaylorNBA
Caleb Houstan just hit the first 3-pointer of the night for the Magic early in the 2nd quarter. They only attempted 2 in the 1st quarter, compared to 14 for the Mavericks. – 6:18 PM
Orlando Magic PR @Magic_PR
The @Orlando Magic have now made at least one three-point field goal in 1,223 consecutive games, dating all the way back to March 17, 2007.
It stands as the fifth-longest active streak in the #NBA and also the fifth-longest streak in @NBAHistory.

Luka Magic vs. Orlando Magic 🪄 pic.twitter.com/ifgXOo2ZMM6:15 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Terrence Ross is a more athletic guard than someone like Derrick White. But the reason he doesn’t protect the rim like White is he just jumps out of the way instead of putting his chest in front of the driver in help defense. – 6:14 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Mavs have scored 11 unanswered points in the 2:30 since JaVale McGee subbed in. – 6:14 PM

Luka Magic on full display 🪄 pic.twitter.com/fy5zobMmJM6:13 PM

Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Luka Doncic accounted for 75% of Mavs’ 28 points in Q1: 12 himself, 3 assists for 9 more.
But he’s off to one of his least efficient starts this year: 5-13 FG, 1-4 3FG in 12 mins. – 6:10 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
End of 1Q: Mavericks 28, Magic 24.
Orlando’s doing a good job of showing Luka (12 points on 5-of-13 shooting) bodies on his drives. Also doing a better job with contests on 3-pointers. – 6:10 PM

The behind-the-back feed to Dorian Finney-Smith for the corner three was beautiful. Mavericks tied at 20 in the first quarter. – 6:00 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
For those behind on the Bally Sports Southwest stream, just wait for that Luka pass to DFS… – 6:00 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
Terrence Ross was looking like Zavier Simpson with that running hook shot. – 5:58 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Bol Bol with his 3rd consecutive stop in isolation. His length is bothering guys. Just blocked a Luka turnaround in the lane–you don’t see that often. – 5:55 PM
Cody Taylor @CodyTaylorNBA
Bol Bol got switched onto Doncic and promptly blocked his shot. – 5:55 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
Terrence Ross and Mo Bamba are the Magic’s first subs, coming in for Jalen Suggs and Wendell Carter Jr. – 5:55 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Jalen Suggs after that foul on Dorian Finney-Smith: “I didn’t do anything!”
DFS: “Yeah you did.” – 5:54 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Yuta Watanabe had an MRI on his sprained ankle today, and Jacque Vaughn said the injury wasn’t as severe as expected. Said he misses Yuta and that the team could have used him in their loss to the Mavericks. #NetsWorld #NBA5:53 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Luka actually just told a ref good call after he fouls Bol on the reach around. Of course, that was after complaining about no foul call on the other end. – 5:51 PM
Cody Taylor @CodyTaylorNBA
Dallas leads Orlando at the first timeout, 12-10. Luka Doncic has 7 points early to lead the Mavs. – 5:50 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
I think Franz Wagner’s right hand bleeding is enough proof that he’s getting fouled on a lot of these drives. – 5:49 PM
Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavs
It’s go time. – 5:43 PM

Jamahl Mosley on Luka Doncic’s historic Year 5 start: “Yes, you see this coming. … From Day 1 when he walked in, when you’re doing individual work with him, when he’s playing one-on-one in the gym, by himself, when he’s with Doe Doe playing one-on-one, you saw this.” – 5:35 PM

Dwight Powell is starting at center for Mavs tonight vs. Magic.
JaVale McGee played 4:18 off the bench (early Q2) last Powell start, but no Christian Wood as sixth-man center tonight, so we’ll see what’s what soon enough. – 5:28 PM
Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
Mavs starters: Bullock, DFS, Powell, Dinwiddie, Doncic
ORL starters: Okeke, Bol, Carter, Wagner, Suggs

(1/2) The Wizards have listed Taj Gibson (neck strain) as questionable to be available for tomorrow night’s game against the Mavericks. And the team has listed Johnny Davis, Vernon Carey Jr., Isaiah Todd and Jordan Schakel as on a G League assignment. … – 4:38 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Jason Kidd said Tim Hardaway Jr. (left hip strain) will play tonight vs. Magic after slipping Monday. Much better outcome than what appeared as he limped off.
He also confirmed Christian Wood (left knee sprain) will not play tomorrow night in Washington. – 4:18 PM
Cody Taylor @CodyTaylorNBA
Jason Kidd called Paolo Banchero the Rookie of the Year so far. He said Paolo reminds him of Grant Hill. – 4:12 PM

Kristaps Porzingis says he and Luka Doncic used to play 1-on-1 at Mavs practices. On guarding him: “He’s just the complete package of a player. He makes it look so easy to where you’re like why aren’t other guys doing this? But that’s why he’s Luka, that’s why he’s special.” – 3:23 PM
