On Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. ET, the Toronto Raptors will attempt to extend their winning streak to four games as they take on Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. Sportsnet and the FAN 590 will broadcast the game for Toronto, while Bally Sports and 97.1 The Freak will cover it for Dallas. The Raptors have shown improvement since the All-Star Break, and their recent victory over the Indiana Pacers was a positive sign. A win against the Mavericks would help them secure a spot in the play-in tournament and prove that they are no longer one of the league’s most disappointing teams this season. However, they will need to find a way to slow down Doncic, who is one of the league’s most explosive offensive players. Scottie Barnes will likely see significant playing time against Doncic, with support from secondary defenders. The Raptors’ starting center, Jakob Poeltl, is questionable due to a left ankle sprain he sustained against the Pacers. If he can’t play, Kelly Olynyk will take his place, but it will be a challenging role to fill. Jontay Porter has been ruled out for Dallas, but the team has yet to release its injury report. The Raptors are currently +2.5 point underdogs with a 45.5% implied win probability, and the total for the game is 237.5.
