Raptors at Knicks picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 114, Raptors 106
Moneyline
Despite the Knicks producing a 6-3 record at home and the Raptors being 3-7 on the road, I'll PASS here. The only way I'd feel comfortable wagering on the moneyline is if New York's odds are lowered to -150 or better.
Against the spread
KNICKS -4.5 (-105) is the play even with Brunson and Robinson potentially sidelined. While F Scottie Barnes has shown improvement this season, the Raptors are struggling to win games or cover the spread recently.
Toronto is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games overall, which includes a home loss to New York. If Brunson is ruled out or limited, then F Julius Randle and F RJ Barrett are enough for the Knicks to cover at home against a struggling Raptors squad.
Over/Under
The Over connected in the 1st meeting between these teams, but I'll side with the UNDER 220.5 (-110) this time around. Brunson could be out or have limitations due to his ankle ailment, and both teams are in the bottom half of the league in pace.
Both teams are also in the top half of the league in defensive rating. Lastly, the Raptors have scored 106 or fewer points in 4 of their last 6 contests.
