Dallas Mavericks at Toronto Raptors Prediction
The presiding market philosophy is like that of Dallas not being a trustworthy candidate on the road. When you couple this with the fact that the Mavs are coming in off a two-point home loss against the Phoenix Suns, the stock on Dallas has assuredly crashed through the floor even if Toronto themselves are riding a two-game skid of their own and 1-3 SU in their previous four. Previous to the Phoenix loss, the Mavericks had won six of their last seven. Low and behold, the one loss would be on the road at the Atlanta Hawks. Given the fact Toronto has a perceived enhanced home court advantage in the Great White North, the expectation here is that the Raps will roll. However, there is one wrinkle the Mavericks can take advantage of: free throw shooting. The Mavericks are the sixth ranked free throw shooting team in the NBA and the Raptors are one of the most accommodating teams in the NBA in opponent free throw percentage, sitting at 24th overall. This type of narrative often favors the team taking back the points and given the fact the expectations are so low, this sets up a perfect fade opportunity against Toronto. Furthermore, the Mavericks have eclipsed 100 points scoring or more in four of their previous five outings which show goes great signs of improvement in their NBA-last offense. Look for this one to heat up with both offenses being the potent force in deciding the outcome, the Over has upside.
Free Pick:
Take Dallas +4 and Over 197
