It could be a close game between the Raptors and Mavericks as 14 of the last 17 head-to-heads have been decided by single digits.
Superstar Luka Doncic (if healthy) and the Dallas Mavericks welcome the Toronto Raptors for the lone time this season Wednesday night. The red-hot Mavs are favoured to win on the NBA odds.
Raptors vs. Mavericks NBA Betting Odds
Wednesday concludes the season series between these teams. Back on Oct. 23, the Raptors were knocked off at home by the Mavericks 103-95. Doncic is probably the most likely player in the NBA to have a triple-double these days (Denver’s Nikola Jokic is in the conversation) and nearly had one that night with 27 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds.
Doncic is averaging 24.2 points, 9.7 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game in six career tilts against the Raptors, with two triple-doubles. He has scored at least 20 points in five of those games, grabbed at least 10 rebounds in three and had at least 10 assists in three. In five career games as a member of the Mavericks, Kristaps Porzingis is averaging 20.2 points and 11.2 rebounds against the Raptors.
OG Anunoby led Toronto with 23 points in the first meeting and Fred VanVleet had 20. Pascal Siakam hadn’t made his season debut yet and the bench did almost nothing.
Expect a close game as 14 of the last 17 meetings have been decided by single digits. Toronto is 4-6 against the spread in the past 10.
Toronto Raptors
We projected the Raptors to lose 109-106 in Miami on Monday and they lost 104-99, the Dinos’ third defeat in four games. The Heat’s Jimmy Butler dominated with a triple-double of 19 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists and Miami also got back All-Star big man Bam Adebayo from a long injury absence. That helped the Heat win the rebounding battle. Siakam was excellent with 20 points, 10 assists, six rebounds and a career-high five steals. VanVleet had 22 points, and Chris Boucher 23 points and 10 rebounds off the bench. Nick Nurse only used Boucher and Justin Champagnie as reserves with Gary Trent Jr. and Khem Birch out injured. Trent may play in this one but Birch won’t.
Dallas Mavericks
Dallas has won nine of 10, which has largely coincided with Doncic returning from an ankle injury. On Monday, the Mavericks beat the Thunder 104-102 behind Doncic’s third triple-double in the past five games: 20 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds. He did tweak his left ankle late, which is the one he injured earlier in the season so that obviously needs to be monitored and would hugely affect Wednesday’s spread. Dorian Finney-Smith added 17 points and 10 rebounds for his first double-double of the season. Canadian Dwight Powell had 10 points and four rebounds off the bench. Big man Maxi Kleber left with a sore left knee. Guard Reggie Bullock sat with a sore knee. We will pick as if Doncic is playing but like the Raptors if not.
