Toronto at Dallas

Toronto beat the Mavericks, 116-107, in October for its sixth win in the last seven meetings, and the Raptors now try to rebound from a heartbreaking loss at Houston on Friday. Dallas had lost four straight before beating the Clippers and Detroit, but tonight's game will be a much tougher test. The road team has covered five of the last seven meetings. The Raptors are in first place in the Atlantic Division while Dallas is four games under .500. Also, the Raptors have won eight of their last 11 games. The Raptors actually held James Harden relatively in check as he missed 11 of 13 3-pointers, but the Rockets got more balanced scoring than usual in beating Toronto. Look for Toronto to bounce back and cover the small number. Go with the Raptors.
