Mavericks at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 114, Raptors 102

Moneyline

The trends favor the Raptors. But Toronto will be down 2 of its top 5 scorers, and a 3rd is questionable. The Raptors will also be missing their top 3 rebounders.

Dallas is also the better-shooting team. They are 3rd in the league in 2pt percentage (57.2%) while Toronto gives up the 2nd-worst team against the 2pt shot.

BET MAVERICKS (-135)

Against the spread

Both teams are .500 ATS after a loss, Toronto is 4-4 while Dallas is 3-3-1. And while the Mavericks have not covered in 5 straight games coming off of 2 days rest, they should be able to handle an incredibly injured Toronto team.

BET MAVERICKS -2.5 (-110)

Over/Under

After a loss, the Mavericks are an NBA leading 7-0 towards the Over. And the Raptors have hit the over 6 of their last 7 games following games where they lost and didn’t cover.

LEAN OVER 215.5 (-110)

Mavericks at Raptors: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Raptors 112, Mavericks 105

Money line (ML)

The rested RAPTORS (-200) are the play against an undermanned and tired Mavericks team. Four of Dallas’ top six players in minutes per game are either questionable or ruled out for Monday’s game and Porzingis is likely to be used sparingly if at all in what would be his first back-to-back of the season.

Of course, Doncic could carry his team to victory, but he came up well short of that feat Sunday despite an impressive triple-double against the inferior Bulls. The Raptors have the defenders to contain Doncic both inside and out and Dallas has few other players, not on the injury report capable of creating shots for themselves.

The Mavericks are a highly-rated defensive team ranked third in defensive rating and fifth in points allowed per game, but the second half of back-to-backs typically sees the defensive effort lessened, especially with a depleted roster.

Against the spread (ATS)

Back the RAPTORS -4.5 (-115) to win by at least 5 points for better value. They’re just 3-9 ATS, including 0-2 in the last two straight-up wins against the Hornets, but Monday’s line is much more manageable.

Over/Under (O/U)

Lean to the UNDER 219.5 (-110) but only with a partial-unit wager. The Mavs have been held below 110 points in three straight games and Toronto has a high of 116 points in its last four games.

Again, we’re expecting Doncic to be held in check after his all-out effort over 38 minutes Sunday.
