Analysis
This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS as part of our NBA Saturday Trifecta. Dallas is coming off a clunker, literally, as it lost its season opener in Atlanta by 26 points. The Mavericks shot just 33 percent from the floor including only 30 percent from long range on 13-43 shooting. The big two of Luke Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis scored 18 and 11 points respectively and they were surprisingly dominated down low, getting outscored 46-26 in the paint. Dallas was outrebounded 55-50 but have a better matchup here against a smaller Toronto lineup. The Mavericks are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Following a blowout loss at home against Washington in its season opener, the Raptors took their frustrations out on the Celtics last night as they dominated Boston leading by as many as 36 points in a 32-point win. Not much is expected from Toronto this season with the loss of defensive stalwart Kyle Lowry and the shoulder injury to Pascal Siakam, who has averaged 22.2 ppg and 7.3 rpg the last two seasons, as he will be out until next month. Last night, they shot only 42 percent from the floor including 29 percent from long range which was pretty much the same as Boston but the Celtics committed 25 turnovers. The Raptors are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* (557) Dallas Mavericks
