The Dallas Mavericks continue their five-game homestand against the Toronto Raptors on Friday night, as Luka Doncic attempts to become only the second player in NBA history to score 30 points or more in eight consecutive games to start a season, and the team seeks its third straight victory.

The Raptors have won four of their last five games, including two straight games in which they scored more than 139 points.
Their offense is on fire right now, and the Mavericks’ defense has been shaky, so it will be interesting to see how many points Toronto can put up on Friday night.
The Mavericks and Raptors square off in a wild shootout at the American Airlines Center on Friday night, but Luka Doncic comes through late to lift Dallas to victory.
