The Dallas Mavericks<\/a> will look to avoid a seventh straight defeat on the trot when they visit the Toronto Raptors<\/a> on Sunday. However, both teams are dealing with injury scares to their best players, in the form of Cooper Flagg and Brandon Ingram.<\/a><\/p>\n

While Flagg is recovering from a left midfoot injury, Ingram has an illness that he hopes to recover from in time. Both the players have been listed as questionable on the official injury report<\/a>.
Toronto has a two-game losing streak of their own to snap, and Ingram is their primary offensive star, currently averaging 21.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game while shooting 37.3% from three-point range. However, an absence will be rare for the two-time All-Star as he has only missed two games all season.<\/p>\n

Ingram was already dealing with a left thumb sprain and was also questionable for the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He ended up playing in the 115-107 loss, finishing with 14 points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal while shooting 5-of-16 from the field.<\/p>\n

Regardless, Dallas enters the contest with a 21-42 record, sitting near the bottom of the Western Conference standings and currently riding a six-game losing streak. Their struggles have been compounded by significant injuries across the roster, including season-ending surgeries for Kyrie Irving (knee) and Dereck Lively II (foot).<\/p>\n

That makes Flagg\u2019s potential absence even more important. The 19-year-old forward is averaging 20.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game. However, Flagg played in the last game, a 120-100 loss against the Boston Celtics<\/a>, and his designation appears to be more of a precautionary measure.<\/p>\n

Regardless, while Dallas has been in very poor form, they have won four of the last five meetings against the Raptors and will be hoping for a rare victory. Dallas defeated Toronto 139-129 earlier this season on October 26, with Cooper Flagg scoring 22 points in that game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dallas Mavericks will look to avoid a seventh straight defeat on the trot when they visit the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":646105,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3770],"tags":[7,4441,225,149,6,1540,681,680,476,3820],"class_list":{"0":"post-646104","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-toronto-raptors","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-brandon-ingram","10":"tag-cooper-flagg","11":"tag-dallas-mavericks","12":"tag-nba","13":"tag-nba-stories","14":"tag-raptors","15":"tag-toronto","16":"tag-toronto-raptors","17":"tag-torontoraptors"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116190496424944009","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/646104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=646104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/646104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/646105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=646104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=646104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=646104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
