This is an 8* play on the OVER between the Dallas Mavericks and the Toronto Raptors.

Toronto hast lost three of its last four and has gone through a stretch of 12 of 17 games where it's trailed after one quarter, most recently it's coming off a 104-94 loss to Sacramento on Tuesday: "It's terrible," said Toronto coach Dwayne Casey after the setback to the Kings. "I mean it's totally unacceptable the way we performed (Sunday). Shame on us. The way you come into the game with that disposition of `OK, we're at home, we're OK.' It's not OK. How many times do we have to do that before it smacks us upside the head and wakes us up?" Dallas plays with revenge here after falling 102-91 at home to the Raptors last month and the team will be looking to continue to build momentum after defeating Memphis 97-88 on Saturday; note that Chandler Parsons had 16 points after scoring 17 against Phoenix four days earlier. Both teams will be looking to get out and push the pace of this one from the outset and a faster paced game = more shots and more shots = more points. Note that Dallas has seen the total go OVER the number in both games that it's played this year after playing to three or more consecutive UNDERs, as well as in nine of 15 on the road this season, while Toronto has seen the total sail above the posted number in all three games it's played this year after a loss by ten points or more and in four of six this season off an upset loss as a favorite. Play on the OVER.
