Storyline to follow: Keeping KP rolling

Kristaps Porzingis has stepped up in the absence of Luka Doncic. The 20-year-old star was hurt in the first two minutes against the Heat. Porzingis finished with 22 points and 14 rebounds in that game. He has produced over 22 points and 12 rebounds in each of the three contests without Doncic.

The Mavericks need another monster performance from the Unicorn against the Raptors. Toronto will likely rely on Serge Ibaka to keep Porzingis in check. That should be advantage Mavs. Hopefully, the 24-year-old stays hot and leads Dallas to a victory.
