The Toronto Raptors will hit the road to face the Dallas Mavericks in their penultimate game of the season. The Raptors are currently 11th in the Eastern Conference standings and have already failed to qualify for the Play-In Tournament with a 30-50 record.
On the other hand, the Mavericks have clinched a play-in spot. They have a 38-42 record and are the 10th seed in the West.
So Friday's game at American Airlines Center will not be a battle to qualify for the postseason. But the Mavs would still look for a win after their underwhelming showing on the occasion of Luka Doncic's return to Dallas.
