Game to pay attention to: Mavericks vs. Magic
Dallas at Orlando
There are a lot of good games on tonight. Cleveland in Charlotte should be a brutal, competitive affair, Miami in Memphis should be solid, Atlanta and Phoenix will be good, as will Boston's trip to Portland.
But I'm going orthodox with the Mavericks in Orlando. It's a nationally televised contest that should allow you non League Pass'ers to keep tabs on the other 11 games, and it features two teams trying desperately to stay relevant.
The Magic's trade deadline was sometime last July, while the Mavericks were the first to strike in the rest of the NBA's trade deadline, procuring Caron Butler(notes) and Brendan Haywood(notes) for a package revolving around Josh Howard(notes) (or, as we should probably start calling him, "the NBA player that your uncle thinks every NBA player acts like").
I thought I'd have a little burnout after a week like this, but I can't wait to lose myself in tonight's lineup. You're welcome to be burned-out, however. Either way, comment away.
Dallas Mavericks: 33-21, 92.2 possessions per game (19th), 108.3 points scored per 100 possessions (12th), 106.6 points allowed per 100 possessions (16th).
Orlando Magic: 93 possessions per game (15th), 108.9 points scored per 100 possessions (tenth), 102.9 points allowed per 100 possessions (fourth).

Thants for hanging around this week.
