I'm on the Mavs Moneyline @ Toronto Raptors for these reasons:

- Time for Mavs to get off the losing streak if they want to be a playoff contender. 3-2 in their last 5 away games

- Dallas matches up well with the Torontos front court, especially when it comes to defense against the three point shot which The Raptors have thrived shooting, lately.

- The signing of PJ Washington should increase defense in the paint for Dallas, so with a team full of flashers like those on Toronto, I see advantages for Dallas on both sides of the ball.

- Dallas are 13th I'm Turnovers forced, Toronto are 15th in turnovers allowed. Dallas are 3rd best at limiting turnovers offensively.

Official Play: Mavs Moneyline

Side Bet: PJ Washington over 11.5 Points

Hail Mary: Under 237
