The Dallas Mavericks host the Toronto Raptors in a pivotal game in the Western Conference standings. They lowered their magic number to avoid the play-in to one with their win over the Pelicans on Wednesday Night. Luka Doncic dropped 33 points to lead Dallas to victory. A win over the Raptors would guarantee the Mavs a position in the top six.
Toronto will come to Dallas on the second night of a back-to-back. They had lost seven of their last eight entering Thursday’s game.
