Can Mavs Keep Magic Going in Orlando? Dallas GAMEDAY

The Dallas Mavericks make a quick trip to Orlando to face the Magic, and coach/former Dallas assistant Jamahl Mosley, on Sunday night with a shot to get their 13th win of January.

It's the second night of a back-to-back for the Mavs, who spoiled Rick Carlisle's homecoming and defeated the Indiana Pacers 132-106 on Saturday night. The bad news is center Kristaps Porzingis left the game early due to right knee soreness. Porzingis is out for the matchup with the Magic.

Orlando is a young team with the worst record in the league. Dallas is eight games over .500 for the first time this season, and in the race with the Memphis Grizzlies for first in the Western Conference's Southwest Division.

INJURY REPORT: Sterling Brown (left foot soreness) is out; Tim Hardaway Jr. (fifth metatarsal fracture, left foot) is out; Kristaps Porzingis (right knee soreness) is out.

LAST WORD Doncic on how he is feeling, physically:

“I feel way better. Obviously, not 100 percent with my ankles and everything. But we’re getting there. I feel way better. I think you can see that on the defensive end.”
