#3 Dallas Mavericks vs Toronto Raptors
Win/Loss column: Raptors 5-0, Mavericks 2-2
Rest: 1 day each
Tip-off: 7:30 PM ET, 5 AM IST
Preview:
The Kawhi era Raptors have gotten off to the best possible start to the season, maintaining a perfect record through a spell that has included games against Conference Finalists Boston and the Minnesota Timberwolves, among others. Kawhi is not 100% yet, but he's there and thereabouts as he starts off another MVP-caliber season.
The Mavericks, on the other hand, are still a middling Western Conference team who lost to the worst team in the Association by 7 points in their previous game. Luka Doncic has looked Rookie of the Year worthy, but the Mavs are giving too much of a free rein to Dennis Smith Jr and Wesley Matthews with all 3 of them on court, and that will be their undoing tomorrow.
Matchup to look out for: Dennis Smith Jr vs Kyle Lowry
Prediction: The Raptors secure a blowout win by the end of the 3rd quarter.
