Raptors at Knicks picks and predictions
Prediction
Raptors 110, Knicks 100
Moneyline
BET RAPTORS (+100).
Toronto played above expectation at Philadelphia and was on pace to win before blowing a 6-point lead with less than 5 minutes remaining in regulation. Siakam had 1 of his best games of the season and the Raptors should be able to build on that effort Wednesday vs. a Knicks team playing the 2nd game of a back-to-back.
The market is telling you by this short line that New York is in a bad spot, despite coming off of a 38-point win over the hobbled NBA champions on national television. The Knicks aren’t as good as their win streak suggests, and Toronto will come out rested and extra focused to end its 6-game skid.
Against the spread
PASS.
There is no need to buy the extra 1.5 points on the Raptors when they should win straight up. Bet the ML or the total instead.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 218.5 (-110).
The Under is 4-0 in the Raptors’ last 4 road games and 5-0 in the Knicks’ last 5 home games. Both teams are led by defensive-minded coaches in Nick Nurse and Tom Thibodeau, and Wednesday’s meeting should be another low-scoring, slower-paced game.
