Dallas Mavericks
After winning seven games in a row the Mavericks have lost their last two. Dallas was threatening to move up the ladder possibly to grab a home-court seed but things are so close in the West that those two losses equated to them dropping to eighth.
With Golden State winning on Tuesday – they are now just 2.5 games back of the Mavs.
Luka Doncic can’t be blamed for the loss in Cleveland as he dropped 45 points, dished 14 dimes, grabbed nine boards, and snared three steals.

Toronto Raptors
Credit to Darko Rajakovic who has had to deal with the constant upheaval of his roster. With the roster finally settled the result is showing on the court as the Raptors finally won three games in a row.
Social media was aflutter with ‘pizza party’ tweets as Rajakovic promised to take the team out for dinner once they accomplished that feat. Scottie Barnes led the way Monday delivering his fourth triple-double of the season with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists plus five crucial blocks.

Free Dallas Mavericks vs. Toronto Raptors NBA Prediction:
Restructuring the roster to put complimentary players around Barnes has paid dividends. Toronto is among the league leaders in assists but with the new personnel, they’ve experienced another jump in that area dishing 37 and 35 assists in their last two matches.
Another key is the Raptors’ improved bench depth which has developed a quick chemistry. Rookie Gradey Dick has taken a leap while having the option of bringing in Olynyk to space the floor and offer a different style upfront is also working.
Similarly, Dallas also is reaping the benefits of their roster additions giving them much more flexibility as witnessed by their recent seven game win streak. They arrive very motivated to get back in the win column.
Unfortunately, both Olynyk and Poeltl may be out Wednesday which will pose problems against the Mavs size. Prior to the injury report I was leaning toward Toronto who’ve played Dallas well recently but given both centers could be out the wiser bet is to take the Mavs.
