What you need to know: The tipoff time of this game was moved up by the NBA due to the impending arrival of Tropical Storm Nicole in the Orlando area, which the local weather experts expect will turn into a Category 1 hurricane. The Mavs are hopeful of finishing tonight’s game quickly so they can hop on a plane and fly to Washington, DC, shortly after the game ends and be prepared to battle the Washington Wizards on Thursday.
