Raptors Take On Luka Doncic & Mavericks: Where to Watch, Storylines, Injury Reports

The Toronto Raptors will take on Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. Here's where to watch, injury reports, and storylines for Friday's game

The Toronto Raptors will continue their Texas two-step Friday night when they take on Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks at 8:30 p.m. ET.

TSN and the FAN 590 will broadcast the game in Toronto. Bally Sports Southwest will air the game in Dallas.

O.G. Anunoby has put himself in the early-season conversation for an All-Defense spot and Toronto is going to need that kind of showing against Doncic. The Raptors will certainly throw some unique coverages his way but it'll be on Anunoby to stand strong as the first line of defense against the All-NBA superstar.
Fred VanVleet is expected to make his return from a back injury and will slide back into the point guard spot for Toronto. Getting VanVleet's shooting back in the lineup will be a boost to the offense but the Raptors should continue letting Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes run the point for extended stretches.
If VanVleet plays, it'll be the first time the Raptors have been at full strength this season. Keep an eye on the rotation and how Toronto uses Christian Koloko, Khem Birch, and Dalano Banton off the bench.
