The Dallas Mavericks and Toronto Raptors face each other for an interesting showdown north of the border at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on Sunday.
The Mavericks are looking to snap a six-game losing streak, while the Raptors are aiming to avoid losing their third consecutive game.
This will be the second and last time the Mavericks and Raptors face off in the 2025-26 NBA regular season, and possibly for the remainder of the campaign.
Meanwhile, the statuses of Cooper Flagg and Brandon Ingram have also been revealed for their respective teams.
“The Mavericks have upgraded Cooper Flagg and made him available for today’s game in Toronto. Brandon Ingram (illness) has also been made available to the Raptors,” NBA insider Marc Stein reported via a social media post on Twitter yesterday, an hour before the contest began.
Through his first 51 games in his NBA career, the former Duke Blue Devils star Flagg has averaged 20.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists while shooting 47.3 percent from the field and 29.4 percent from behind the arc.
Another former Duke basketball star, Ingram entered the Mavericks game with season averages of 21.9 points, 5.7 boards and 3.8 assists, while making 47.2 percent of his attempts from the field and 37.3 percent from 3-point field through 60 games.
In the first meeting between the Mavericks and Raptors this season, the Flag and Company topped the visiting Raptors on October 26, 139–129, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Flagg had 22 points on 8-for-14 shooting in that game, while Ingram also had 22 points on 10-for-16 shooting.
