The Mavericks are coming off the most excruciating loss I've ever seen. It hurts to lose on a buzzer-beater, but when a shot comes in from 60 feet, it breaks his heart. Fortunately, they have a chance to right the wrong right away against an inferior Raptors team. This is a chance for the Mavericks to make a statement.

- O/U 237.5
- Mavs ML: -155
DraftKings odds are up to date as of 11:30 a.m. CST.
The Mavericks are on the verge of losing their third straight game. The Raptors have won three straight, so the team is on the other side of the atmosphere. This should be a pretty big win for Dallas as they are just a better team and have Dante Exum back. For the Mavericks, it's -2.5.
player props
- Luka Doncic 32.5 points or more (-115)
- Scottie Barnes, 2.5 steals + blocks or more (+140)
Doncic is playing on his birthday in Slovenia for the Mavericks, who need a win. This is easy.
Barnes had six steals and a block in the last matchup against Dallas. His versatility makes him a deadly defender, and P.J. Washington alone should get him at least two. Expect a great defensive night from Barnes.
today's play
- Dallas Mavericks 1st quarter spread -0.5 (-112)
The Mavericks should bounce back and bounce back after their heartbreak one night ago. The best cure for a bad loss is to play the next day, and that's exactly what they're doing. Dallas will probably win by more than one point in the first quarter.
