Raptors vs Mavericks Betting Pick
This game will be played at American Airlines Center at 8:30 PM ET on Friday, November 4, 2022.
Why Bet The Mavericks:
✅ Dallas has been excellent at home so far this season, going 3-1 at American Airlines Center thus far. Against a Raptors team that has gone just 2-2 on the road so far, the Mavs will have the upper hand even though both of these teams are very even statistically.
Gambling Problem? Call or TEXT 1-800-Gambler 21+
✅ Toronto comes into this game with a key injury concern. Fred VanVleet is questionable for this contest with a back injury. Whether VanVleet is available or not, the Mavs should be able to take advantage of the defensive makeup of the Raptors through Luka Doncic and his size at his position.
✅ Both of these teams play at incredibly slow paces, both ranking in the bottom-six in the league in pace so far this season. But the Mavericks play with the slowest pace in the league, and they should be the most comfortable playing in a game that should be contested at a glacial pace from start to finish.
Toronto Raptors
The Toronto Raptors enter Friday night with a 5-3 record, putting them in third place in the Eastern Conference. They started their road trip earlier this week with a 143-100 win over the San Antonio Spurs, and they have averaged 141 points per game over their last two games. Here, the Raptors will face a much more difficult test than they did against the Spurs, as they will have to slow down a Mavericks team that is playing well in its own right.
Look for Pascal Siakam to have a big game in this contest if the Raptors are going to have a shot at winning. Siakam should have a favorable offensive matchup against the likes of JaVale McGee and Dorian Finney-Smith. If he can get to his spots and hit his shots, the Raptors could win this game outright.
Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks come into this contest with the Raptors at 4-3 on the year, having won their last two games. Those wins came against the Orlando Magic and Utah Jazz, as the Mavs get set for a step up in competition here as well. And just like the Raptors, the Mavericks should enjoy a huge offensive mismatch in this contest.
Who the Raptors choose to put on Luka Doncic will be interesting to keep an eye on in this matchup. They could put someone like Scottie Barnes or OG Anunoby on him, but that could make things easier for the outside shooters of the Mavs. Either way, the Raptors may not have the bodies to keep Doncic from going off in this matchup.
