Toronto Raptors vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
I’m not thrilled to get behind the Raptors on the road, but I have no choice. The Mavs have lost to the Spurs and Wizards in the favorite role, and the “fire Nico” chants are back. The Mavs have been awful offensively through 2 games, and the defensive effort hasn’t been there. At the very least, the Mavs are supposed to defend at a decent level. The season is still young, but the lives are all bad in Dallas. I’ll be fading until something starts looking up. It’s Raptors or pass.
