Raptors Look to Extend Winning Streak vs. Doncic's Mavericks: Where to Watch, Injury Reports, and More

The Toronto Raptors will look for their fourth straight victory on Wednesday when they host the Dallas Mavericks: Where to watch, injury reports, and more

The Toronto Raptors will look to extend their winning streak to four games Wednesday night when they Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Where to Watch

Sportsnet and the FAN 590 will broadcast for Toronto. Bally Sports and 97.1 The Freak will call the game for Dallas.

What to Watch For

• The Raptors have looked much better since the All-Star Break and Monday's victory over the Indiana Pacers was the first sign that Toronto has really taken a step forward. A victory over the Mavericks would go a long way to helping the Raptors sneak into the play-in tournament and prove they're no longer among the league's most disappointing teams this season.
• Toronto is going to have to find a way to slow Doncic, one of the league's most explosive offensive weapons. Expect Scottie Barnes to see plenty of time on Doncic with plenty of help from secondary defenders. It won't be easy, but some resistance is a must against the league's top scorer.
• Jakob Poeltl's status is up in the air for Toronto following a left ankle sprain against the Pacers. His availability is going to be a big one for the Raptors who have struggled mightily without their starting center. Kelly Olynyk will get the nod if Poeltl can't go, but it'll be a tough hole to fill if Poeltl is sidelined.

Injury Reports

Poeltl is listed as questionable for Toronto. It's worth noting that Jontay Porter has been ruled out, a sign that Poeltl's injury isn't expected to be too serious.

Dallas played Tuesday night and has yet to release its injury report.

Game Odds

The Raptors are +2.5 point underdogs with an implied win probability of 45.5%. The total for the game is 237.5.
