Raps aren't an easy team. They lost Siakam, Gasol, and basically their entire team. FVV and Lowry are the only ones left.
And even then I still think the Mavs are the underdogs. Mavs have to be ready to go.

Dude almost single-handedly beat the Mavs last time. But yeah, I'm not underestimating this Raps team. THJ and Curry have to stay hot.

Away game with their best player and 2 more big contributors out? This’ll be a blow out!

Josh Green is a top 5 Mavs player...

I remember the Mavs losing to the Raptors in the championship year who had the worst ranked offense and the worst defense. I think Bargnani dropped 35.

The Mavs are doing better and better at playing up to, not down to, their competition. They will have a day and a half of rest. No Luka, but they've already shown what they can do without Luka, and they'll be ready. I would feel sorry for the Raps, but nah.

We all know what this is. There’s no denying it.
Another must win game.

Toronto's line has moved to -3. They still lack their already missing players and still favoured to win against Dallas? That's really strange.

Because historically the Mavs lose in Toronto. And it doesn't help that they're a good team with or without their missing players.

Nobody wins awards for going 19-9 in the regular season. I'll say this is a great team after seeing what they can do in the playoffs, IF they make it. Remember nothing is guaranteed in the Western conference, and we should know better than anyone how a small move or injury can radically derail an entire season. Meanwhile this entire Raptors team minus Kawhi and Green have scaled the playoff mountain and planted their flag. So they are historical and a great team. Obviously my barometer for a great team is not championship or bust, but the Mavs are young and unproven. My whole point is that no wins are guaranteed and, as DrMav puts it, should treat every game as a must-win.

I wasn't aware that they'll be missing Gasol and Siakam. With that said, we need to stay engaged and go for their throats all game to secure the win. We can't underrate our opponent because some of their key players are out. That's what the Bucks did against us and that didn't go too well for them. The raptors have the depth to still put up a competitive game.

They’re missing 4 of 5 starters from last year's championship team. So let’s not delude ourselves into thinking this is Milwaukee or even Philly again. It’s a game the Mavs should win.

Not sure where you are seeing that. It opened at -3.5 for TOR and all the services I see have moved to -2.0 for TOR. https://www.oddsshark.com/nba/odds

I saw the line on the ESPN app as -2 yesterday, today it was -3 and I thought the Raps might have had some players back from injury. Reading reports that they will be absent again made me think that the oddsmakers do not yet show enough respect to the Mavs.
