Raptors at Knicks picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 123, Raptors 109
Moneyline
PASS.
The Knicks will win this game, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as -600 favorites. Pass here and bet on the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
LEAN KNICKS -11.5 (-105).
New York is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 matchups against Toronto and is 3-0 in the last 3 meetings in the Big Apple.
This is the perfect chance for the Knicks to end their losing streak and rebuild some confidence with a blowout win against a bad Raptors team, so look for N.Y. to do just that.
This is a lean because the Knicks have dropped 3 straight games ATS and because the Knicks are just 18-18-1 ATS this season.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 231.5 (-110).
The Over has hit in 2 of Toronto’s last 3 games and is 6-3-1 in its last 10 outings. For Toronto, the Over is also 20-15-1 this season. The Over is 8-2 in the last 10 matchups between these squads.
This is a lean because the Under is 3-1 in New York’s last 4 games.
