Without star forward Paolo Banchero the Mavs are going to have problems being cohesive. The Magics offensive efficiency and points per 100 possessions sinks precipitously without Banchero in the lineup. Im betting the Magic will plan on slowing this game down, and play tough D, because of the considerable offensive deficiencies they must now cope with . On the flip-side, the Mavs play a concise type of hoops behind Doncic and use the pick and roll as key mode of shot decision making, which will take time off the clock. Dallas current ranks 7th in ppg allowed and 22nd in league ppg offensive production behind the 25th ranked pace. Orlando ranks 10th in ppg defense, and 19th in ppg offense, and 13th in pace.
