Mavericks vs Raptors Prediction
The Mavericks have a chance to move up to the ninth seed, so they’re going to be favored based on motivation. However, the Mavs have a lot of players on their injury report, and this is a lot of points to lay with them regardless. Also, the Raptors continue to compete and play hard, and it’s led to a 48-31-1 ATS record. Oddsmakers keep disrespecting the Raptors with these lines, and they keep cashing tickets.
Only the Thunder are better at covering numbers than the Raptors. The Raptors haven’t had anything to play for in months, but they get after it nightly, and you can bet they’ll be out to play spoiler in this spot. Give me the points, as we’ve been on the Raptors all season.
