Mavericks Face Raptors Amid Injury Concerns

The Dallas Mavericks are riding a six-game winning streak and have won 10 of their last 11 games, positioning themselves as one of the top teams in the NBA with a 15-8 record. However, they face injury challenges as Jaden Hardy is listed as doubtful due to a right ankle sprain, and Naji Marshall is out with an upper respiratory infection. The Toronto Raptors, struggling at 7-16 and sitting in 12th place in the Eastern Conference, have their own injury concerns, with Kelly Olynyk and Jakob Poeltl also questionable, and Davion Mitchell dealing with right hip stiffness. Despite these setbacks, the Mavericks aim to maintain momentum as they prepare to face the Raptors tonight. The Raptors hope to leverage their home advantage at Scotiabank Arena against a formidable Dallas squad. This matchup is crucial for both teams as they look to improve their standings in their respective conferences.
