The Dallas Mavericks continue their five-game homestand against the Toronto Raptors on Friday night as Luka Doncic looks to become the second player in NBA history to score 30-plus in eight straight games to begin a season, and the team searches for their third straight win. Wilt Chamberlain did it 23 times in 1962, and eight times in 1959. That is it, so there could be some history on Nov. 4 at the American Airlines Center.

The Raptors have won four of their last five games, including two straight where they have topped 139 points. Their offense is rolling right now, and the Mavs’ defense has been a bit shaky, so it will be interesting to see how much Toronto can score on Friday night.

Will Luka make history? Do the Mavericks jump to 5-3 on the young season or do they head back to .500? It will be a cannot miss game as fans know Nick Nurse always brings out the exotic defenses to use against number 77, so here is a look at how to watch, the odds, and more.

Dallas Mavericks vs Toronto Raptors injury report
The Mavs ruled out Frank Ntilikina (ankle) and Davis Bertans (knee) for the eighth straight game on the NBA’s . Jaden Hardy, Tyler Dorsey, and McKinley Wright IV will be with the G League team on Friday night and have also been ruled out as Dallas faces the Raptors.

Fred VanVleet is questionable for Toronto with a back injury, and he should be considered 50-50 to play on Friday night in Dallas. Justin Champagnie and Ron Harper Jr. are both on G League assignment and will miss the game against the Mavericks.
