Orlando is shooting a league-best 40.1 percent from long distance and has won its last eight games by an average of 19.4 points when making 10-plus 3s.

Dallas looks for its third straight win in Orlando following Saturday's 111-96 victory over Miami. The Mavericks won their second in a row overall behind another brilliant performance from Dirk Nowitzki. He hit 12-of-14 from the floor and scored 30 points as Dallas shot a season-best 60.3 percent.

Dirk will be in tough to repeat that performance since the Magic are among the league leaders in defense, holding teams to 42.9 percent shooting.
