RS 23/24 - Mavs @ Magic (Tonight)

Post #1 » by **Dirk** » Mon Nov 6, 2023 12:11 pm

I heard the Magic are for real, so this would be a quality W. Orlando slight favorites in the betting odds.

Probably a schedule loss. Luka or Kyrie are probably gonna sit. 2nd night of a b2b with the 2nd night being away is a bit wild.

Last year Kyrie (as a Net) put on one of the most spectacular performances I've seen against the Magic, 60 points IIRC.

Tough game... the Magic have a serious roster with Banchero, Franz and a ton of young role players of all varieties.

Which quarter with Mo Wagner get under Luka's skin this time?

Probably none of them, since they really should be giving him (and Kyrie) the night off.

I hope not, at least Kyrie should play, ORL are favoured, but it's not like it's hopeless...

Based on what? Next game is Wed after this... no reason to rest them, the West will be a bloodbath for PO seating.

I still like the Mavs odds, even without Luka. Orlando doesnt have WCJ and possibly Fultz as well, which is huge.

Because he is obviously hurt, played close to 40 minutes last night, and hasnt had a chance to properly rest. Playing a hurt superstar on the 2nd night of a B2B, on the road, against an opponent that isnt even in our conference is just foolish and unnecessary.

I probably wouldnt even play him Wednesday either, if im being honest. Let him get back to 100 for Friday vs LAC

I think it's time for a 30/20 game from Lively. :meditate:

Luka and Kai questionable

How soft are nowadays Nba players. 7th game for Luka and Kyrie has played only 4. Both should play.

Good. I would be fine with both of them resting, but I imagine Kyrie actually plays though.

Luka shouldnt even have flown out though

Luka looked really limited yesterday...

Time to unlimit him then.

I don’t think they’re both allowed to sit. I think one of them is required to play.

I think thats only for nationally televised games, but regardless... You cant require hurt players to play and they both have injury designations

Suggs was out for that game.
