What you need to know about the Raptors
The Raptors entered their tilt with the Indiana Pacers with two consecutive wins, but they'll enter their next game with three. Toronto walked away with a 130-122 victory over the Pacers on Monday. The Raptors' victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Scottie Barnes, who dropped a triple-double on 21 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists and five blocks.
Barnes is averaging 20 points per game, along with ranking in the top 20 of the NBA in total rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. He's been the one constant for Toronto in midst of a transitional season as the team has made a bevy of transactions. A pair of the newcomers in RJ Barrett (20.3 points) and Immanuel Quickley (17.0 points) came over from the Knicks, and they are both averaging more points as Raptors than they did in any of their seasons in New York.

What you need to know about the Mavericks
While the Mavericks couldn't quite beat the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday, the two-point margin was a huge improvement compared to the 22-point loss they were dealt on Sunday. Dallas lost 121-119 to the Cavaliers on a 59-foot buzzer beater from Max Strus. The Mavericks have struggled against the Cavaliers recently, as their matchup on Tuesday was their fourth consecutive lost meeting. Despite the defeat, the Mavericks got a solid performance out of Luka Doncic, who almost dropped a triple-double on 45 points, nine rebounds, and 14 assists, while Kyrie Irving had 30 points.
Dallas will look to bounce back after a devastating loss, and it is 15-9 ATS after a defeat, as well as being 6-3 ATS on the second night of a back-to-back. Doncic is on pace to win his first scoring title as he leads all qualified players with 34.5 points per game while also averaging a career-high of 9.6 assists. The Mavericks are 13-4 straight up when Doncic scores at least 39 points, compared to a 17-16 record when he scores 38 or fewer. See which team to pick here.
