1.) Make the Outside Shot

In what many thought would be a strength for the Mavericks this season, Dallas is 29th in the league in three-point percentage at 29%.

Yes, they have been without some key veteran players such as Dirk Nowitzki, but that still doesn’t warrant 29th in the league.

The Magic are 2nd in the league in 3PA, which means the Mavericks will have to make the most of their outside opportunities  tonight in Orlando. Sometimes you can keep launching three-pointers in hopes of finding a groove, but for the Magic, they make it a key to limit those opportunities.

With the outside shot such a key to the Mavericks success this season, they must shoot the three at a high percentage tonight.
