Good evening to all. At the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto Raptors welcome them Mavericks at 22:30 on a Sunday evening.
From 4 consecutive wins they come from champions that despite the many injuries problems they face find the way and they get the matches. 20-8 is the record of Nick Nurse's team in 4th place in the Eastern District. The Mavericks in turn continue to impress without Luka Doncic. Huge double in Milwaukee and breaking the Bucks' undefeated run, losing to the Dallas Celtics in details and an impressive win over the Sixers in Philadelphia 98-117. 19-9 in the Western Region 5th record.
Were it not for the absences of Siakam, Gasol on the one hand and Doncic on the other we would see a mess tonight. Even so, I expect a derby between two very good teams that will probably be judged marginally with the hosts due to home mainly having a small lead in my eyes. In any case, I will not play anything regarding the winner of the match.
My choice from this match is over 30,5 on sum points, rebounds and Assist of the Raptors guard Fred vanvleet, at odds of 1,85 (stoiximan). About VanVleet he returned in action in the latest Canadian game against the Wizards then in the absence of 5 races and it was great ending the match on 18/9/8. Overall this year's regular season has average of the order of 18/4/7, while in the previous match of the two teams had 24/5/7. Tonight is expected, and due to their absence Siakam, along with Lowry will be the two main expressers of the home side's attacks, staying in the parquet for a long time and having the ball in his hands.
