The Dallas Mavericks will seek a fifth straight win against the Toronto Raptors when they visit Scotiabank Arena tonight.<\/p>\n

Toronto is a healthy 9.5-point home favorite, but my Mavericks vs. Raptors predictions and NBA picks<\/a> have the home team struggling to put away Dallas by double digits.<\/p>\n

Mavericks vs Raptors prediction<\/p>\n

Mavericks vs Raptors best bet: Mavericks +9.5 (-110)<\/p>\n

Of the current 12 teams sitting in the Top 6 spots in each conference, the Toronto Raptors<\/a> are the only ones that don’t have a winning record at home (16-16).<\/p>\n

The Dallas Mavericks<\/a> should be the get-right opponent, as they\u2019ve lost six straight and have just two wins in their last 18, but Dallas is 3-1 against the spread against Toronto in the last four meetings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Injuries could play a factor too, as Cooper Flagg (foot) is questionable, as is Brandon Ingram (illness). Either way, the Raptors are just 4-7 ATS in their last 11 at Scotiabank Arena, while Dallas is 4-2 ATS in their last six road games.<\/p>\n

Mavericks vs Raptors same-game parlay<\/p>\n

RJ Barrett<\/a> led the Raptors with 25 points in their loss to Minnesota, and he\u2019s grooving right now, hitting 20+ points in four of his last five games.<\/p>\n

Khris Middleton<\/a> has connected on just one moneyball in his last five games, and since leaving Milwaukee, he\u2019s yet to hit from downtown in four games against Toronto.<\/p>\n

Mavericks vs Raptors SGP<\/p>\n

RJ Barrett Over 19.5 points<\/p>\n

Khris Middleton Under 0.5 threes<\/p>\n

Our “from downtown” SGP: All aboard the Klay-Train<\/p>\n

Klay Thompson<\/a> is in one of his best shooting grooves of the season. Coming off a 5-for-11 night from downtown against Boston, he\u2019s now hit at least three triples in five of his last seven games.<\/p>\n

And Jakob Poeltl<\/a> has been Toronto\u2019s leading rebounder in three straight games, but only once has he hit nine rebounds, and he\u2019s yet to reach that mark in four games against Dallas as a Raptor.<\/p>\n

Khris Middleton Under 0.5 threes<\/p>\n

Klay Thompson Over 2.5 threes<\/p>\n
