The Dallas Mavericks (6-6) are treading water with a short-handed roster, and find themselves trying to right the ship at the start of a three game road trip. After losing yesterday at home to the Chicago Bulls, their second loss to them this season, the Mavericks face the Toronto Raptors (4-8) in their temporary home in Tampa Bay.
The Raptors have had a slow start to the season, but just won their last two in back-to-back games with the Charlotte Hornets. They’re built around the core trio of Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, and Pascal Siakam.
