The Dallas Mavericks and Toronto Raptors meet Monday in NBA action at the Amalie Arena.

The Dallas Mavericks look for a win here to get a game above a .500 record. The Dallas Mavericks are averaging 109.4 points on 45.3 percent shooting and allowing 105.1 points on 43.9 percent shooting. Luka Doncic is averaging 27.5 points and 8.8 assists while Tim Hardaway Jr. is averaging 18.7 points and four rebounds. Kristaps Porzingis is the third double-digit scorer and Josh Richardson is grabbing 2.9 rebounds. The Dallas Mavericks are shooting 35 percent from beyond the arc and 73.8 percent from the free throw line. The Dallas Mavericks are allowing 31.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 44.8 rebounds per game.

The Toronto Raptors look for a win after splitting their last six games. The Toronto Raptors are averaging 111.5 points on 43.9 percent shooting and allowing 112.2 points on 45.6 percent shooting. Fred VanVleet is averaging 20.1 points and 4.4 rebounds while Pascal Siakam is averaging 18.9 points and 4.9 assists. Kyle Lowry is the third double-digit scorer and Chris Boucher is grabbing 6.8 rebounds. The Toronto Raptors are shooting 37.4 percent from beyond the arc and 79.9 percent from the free throw line. The Toronto Raptors are allowing 37.5 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 43.2 rebounds per game.

The Mavericks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Raptors are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 home games and 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games overall. The under is 4-0 in Mavericks last 4 overall. The over is 6-2 in Raptors last 8 overall. The Mavericks are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

I'm going to assume the Dallas Mavericks will be without a player or two in this matchup based on the line. Even if that's the case, I'm not laying chalk with the Raptors and the way they're playing. The Toronto Raptors look uninspired when they take the court most nights and that's not going to change considering they can't even go home. It's got to be hard for Toronto to find motivation to get out of this funk. Give me the Mavs and the free points.
