Knicks at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Raptors 117, Knicks 113
Moneyline
BET RAPTORS (-110).
Toronto played well vs. Boston before collapsing in the 4th quarter. The Raptors had multiple chances to tie or take the lead late. New York has performed below expectation since losing to Toronto as a 2-point home favorite last Monday, 123-121 in overtime. The Knicks have failed to cover by an average of 14.25 points over the last 2 games and should continue to underperform Sunday in a city where they struggle to win.
Against the spread
PASS.
There is no need to buy the extra 1.5 points on the Raptors when Toronto should win straight up. Bet the moneyline or total instead.
Over/Under
BET OVER 221.5 (-112).
The Over is 3-0-1 in New York’s last 4 road games vs. teams with a winning record at home and 4-0 in the Knicks’ last 4 vs. teams with a losing record. The Over is 4-0 in Toronto’s last 4 games vs. teams with a winning record and 7-1 in the Raptors’ last 8 after covering in their previous game. These teams tend to play high-scoring games vs. each other, with the Over hitting in 4 of their last 5 meetings, and Sunday’s matchup should be more of the same.
