Mavs Looking To Build On Three-Game Streak
The Dallas Mavericks play host to the Toronto Raptors at American Airlines Center on Wednesday evening.

This marks the third game of a five-game home stand for the Mavs (25-19), as they will look to keep building on a three-game win streak and add to their, 13-8, home record. Luka Doncic leads the team, averaging 24.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.2 steals, per game. Kristaps Porzingis is averaging 20.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.8 blocks, while Jalen Brunson is averaging 16.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.0 steals, per game. Reggie Bullock (knee) and Maxi Kleber (knee) are listed as questionable for action. The Mavs are averaging 105.5 points per game, and they are holding opponents to an average of 102.7 points per game, which is third fewest in the league.

Meanwhile, the Raptors (21-20) have won seven of their last 10 games but will be looking to bounce back from a loss in their most recent contest, as they have a chance to add to their, 9-9, road record. Fred VanVleet continues his top level play, averaging 27.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.9 steals, over the last 10 games. Pascal Siakam has also been playing well, averaging 23.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 2.0 steals, over the last 10 games. Gary Trent (ankle) has missed the last five games and remains questionable for action on Wednesday. If Trent remains out, Chris Boucher and Precious Achiuwa will continue to see a boost in playing time. The Raptors are averaging 107.0 points per game, while they are giving up an average of 106.0 points against.
