Toronto's Offense Has Exploded In Back-To-Back Wins

Seven different players scored at least 12 points in Toronto's 143-100 blowout win on the road over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. This was Toronto's second straight blowout win as the Raptors cruised to a 139-109 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night. Pascal Siakam is averaging new career-highs across the board this season with 25.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game.

The Raptors' scoring defense ranks second best in the NBA allowing only 105.8 points per game, making this team extremely tough to beat when its offense gets going. Toronto is 4-1 SU and ATS with two outright upsets over its last five games since starting the season off with a 1-3 SU and 2-2 ATS slump. Fred VanVleet has missed Miami's last two games with a back injury and is questionable to return against Dallas.

Luka Doncic Is Off To A Red-Hot Start In Dallas

Luka Doncic racked up 33 points and 11 assists in Dallas's 103-100 win at home against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. Doncic has scored at least 30 points in all seven of Dallas's games this season en route to a 4-3 SU and 3-3-1 ATS start, and he currently leads the league in scoring averaging 36.1 points per game. The franchise point guard also averages nine assists and 8.9 rebounds per game this season.

Like Toronto, the Mavericks also rely heavily on their defense, currently ranking seventh in the NBA in scoring defense surrendering 109 points per game. Dallas has won each of its last two games, but has failed to cover the spread in any of its last three with an 0-2-1 ATS record over that stretch.

Mavericks Player Prop: Luka Doncic Under 31.5 Points (-130)

Betting against an elite scorer like Doncic is always a scary proposition. But the Raptors have one of the NBA's best defenses and have held Doncic to an average of 26.6 points per game in his seven career games against them, so this total is set a bit too high.

Raptors: Keys to Win

This game between two of the NBA's best defensive teams figures to be a low-scoring one. But if Toronto can continue the hot shooting it has had in back-to-back blowout wins, the path to victory as a Raptors vs Mavericks prediction will be a lot easier.

Mavericks: Keys to Win

All eyes will be on Luka Doncic and his streak of games with 30 or more points facing this stingy Toronto defense. Dallas has other players that can contribute on offense like Christian Wood and Spencer Dinwiddie, but they'll be hard-pressed to win as a Raptors vs Mavericks prediction at home without another big game from Doncic on the scoresheet.
