Knicks at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Raptors 110, Knicks 106

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks haven't performed well on the 2nd night of back-to-backs and are on the road here. They aren't worth a play despite being plus-money underdogs.

Against the spread

BET RAPTORS -1.5 (-115).

New York is just 1-3 ATS on the 2nd night of back-to-backs. It will be taking on a team with ample length to disrupt the use of Brunson and also C Mitchell Robinson, who is a key offensive rebounding threat.

The Raptors have won 3 straight home games, all by more than this margin, and are 4-0 ATS over their last 4 home games. The Knicks are 1-3-2 ATS as underdogs this season.

Back RAPTORS -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 217.5 (-110).

New York is 8-10 O/U this season but has traded off going Over and Under the projected total in its last 5 games and is due to go Under.

The Raptors are 9-10 O/U on the season and have gone Under in 3 straight games, scoring 105 or fewer in 2 of those 3 and holding their opponent to 105 or fewer in 2 of those 3.

Neither team ranks in the top half of the league in pace either, so expect a slow-tempo game. Take UNDER 217.5 (-110).
