A total of eight games are on the NBA schedule for Monday, including the Dallas Mavericks hosting the Toronto Raptors at 9:00 p.m. ET at the American Airlines Center.

The Raptors (27-43) will miss the playoffs just two years after winning the NBA championship. The Mavericks (41-29), meanwhile, have qualified for the postseason, and a win would give them a leg up on clinching the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference.

The Mavericks have won five of their last six games and are double-digit favorites in this one. The depleted Raptors are limping to the finish line as they are on a five-game losing streak and have lost eight of their last nine.

Here is a rundown of key injuries to be aware of Thursday.
