DAL vs TOR Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:

Dallas Mavericks and the reigning NBA Champions Toronto Raptors meet in an NBA match at American Airlines Center in Boston, Massachusetts, on Sunday morning (IST).

Dallas Mavericks:
Luka Doncic continues to baffle the whole Basketball world in his rookie season by his scoring exploits. The 19-year-old is performing way more than what other players in his age-group could ever offer.

In his latest blockbuster performance, the Slovenian scored a team-high 32 points, and 8 assists in the match to steer his team to the 2nd consecutive win. The young prodigy is one of the hot prospects in NBA at the moment and remains a leading contender to win the NBA rookie of the year award.

But Maxi Kleber produced the match-defining moment late in the game. The 26-year-old blocked a Blake Griffin shot before burying a go-ahead three-pointer. With that basket, Dallas got a 100-97 lead with less than two minutes left in the regulation time.

Blake Griffin had a monster of a game, dropping a match-high 35 points in the match, but failed to convert a key basket.

Pistons’ big-man Andre Drummond had 23 points and 15 rebounds, his 37th double-double. While Dallas’ DeAndre Jordan dropped 13 points with 11 boards for his 30th double-double.

The win was Dallas Mavericks’ 18th in the last 24 matches and fourth in the last 10 matches as they aim to break into the NBA playoff positions.

Toronto Raptors:
Toronto Raptors were successful in quieting James harden to some extent but the win eluded them as Houston Rockets won 121-119 at Toyota Center. It was Raptors’ second consecutive loss and now they trail Eastern Conference leaders by three games.

Nick Nurse included Kawhi Leonard in this match for the first time in five games and the 2014 NBA finals MVP didn’t disappoint anybody. The former San Antonio Spurs star scored a team-high 32 points, while Pascal Siakam and Danny Green had a good game as well, scoring 22 points apiece.

The build-up to the match was all about James Harden’s 30-points or more hot-streak. The reigning NBA MVP ended up with 35 points, his lowest in the last six matches. The 29-year-old extended his 30-point streak to 22 games, the fourth best in NBA.

The legendary Basketball player Wilt Chamberlain is the only player who is ahead of Harden in the list. He had streaks of 65, 35 and 25 games of 30-points or more.

Dallas Mavericks: W-25, L-18
