The Toronto Raptors have been flooded with injury problems in the last few weeks, as All-NBA candidate Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes are working their way back from groin and knee ailments. The latest Toronto Raptors odds have them struggling to beat one of the best teams in the West.
The Dallas Mavericks are tied almost entirely to the offensive excellence of Luka Doncic, but that formula has helped them craft one of the more potent half-court offenses in the league. Toronto threw the kitchen sink at him in their first meeting, and Dallas still ended up with the win.
The Raptors will need some genuine luck in order to take home a victory and avoid falling below .500 this time, as many of their big-name scorers are out or compromised physically. Slowing down Doncic is one thing, but keeping pace with Dallas’ bench could be hard to pull off.
Will the Raptors somehow manage to upset the Mavericks despite going into the game with many of their impact players on the sidelines? Will Dallas use this opportunity to pad their stats against a Raptors team that lacks depth?

Toronto Raptors vs. Dallas Mavericks Prediction
The Mavs gave Toronto some genuine fits when this team was fully healthy, meaning that they should be expected to bulldoze a depleted roster that has been forced to give two-way players legitimate rotation minutes over the last few games.
Let’s say that Luka has a bad game. Names like Spencer Dinwiddie and Christian Wood proved to be very tough for even a healthy Toronto team to defend in their first meeting. With names like Juancho Hernangomez getting major rotation time, the goal of slowing them down could be even more difficult to pull off.
Mavericks 116, Raptors 108
