Knicks at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 113, Raptors 95

Moneyline

The Knicks (-950) will cost you nearly 10 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward, especially for a road team.

While New York has been playing well, and the Raptors (+640) are obviously in tank mode, it’s still not a recommended play to back such a heavy favorite.

PASS.

Against the spread

The KNICKS -13.5 (-106) are heavy favorites on the road, but they’re playing very well of late.

New York has won 6 of the past 7 games, and it has cashed as a favorite of 6 or more points at a 3-0-1 ATS clip in the past 4 instances just since March 12. The Knicks have been taking care of business against the dregs of the league, for which the Raptors +13.5 (-114) certainly qualify.

The Raps have been mailing it in, dropping 11 consecutive outings, while failing to cover in 6 of the previous 7, including the past 3 as double-digit underdogs. And the past 2 occasions as a ‘dog of 11 or more points came at home.

Over/Under

UNDER 210 (-110) is worth a look in this Eastern Conference battle north of the border.

The Raps have cashed the Under in 7 straight outings while going 10-3 in 13 March contests. The offense has been awful, going for 104 or fewer points in 6 of the past 7 outings, while failing to reach triple digits in 3 of the past 5.

The Knicks have allowed just 96 PPG in the past 2 wins against non-playoff teams while holding teams to double-digit point totals in 7 of the past 9 outings. New York is on a 12-4 run to the Under across the past 16 outings.

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.

Knicks at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 113, Raptors 109

Moneyline

Even though they are the underdogs on the road, give me the KNICKS (+145) to secure the win. New York has been the much better team recently and G Jalen Brunson being back is a massive difference for the Knicks.

Against the spread

Considering I took New York to win outright, KNICKS +3.5 (-102) is how I’m betting on the spread in this game. The Raptors are struggling to find ways to win.

The Knicks are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a win. Meanwhile, the Raptors are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Over/Under

OVER 219.5 (-108) is where I’m leaning in this game despite both of these teams being in the bottom 8 in pace. The recent trends show that there is some value in taking the Over in this contest.

The Knicks are 7-2 to the Over in their last 9 games overall. Also, the Raptors have gone Over in 4 of their last 5 games against a team with a winning record.

Knicks at Raptors: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Raptors 116, Knicks 103

Money line (ML)

The winless Raptors have played much better (most of the time) than their record shows. They’ve held leads for significant durations in all three games but have struggled to play a complete 48 minutes at both ends of the court. PF Pascal Siakam (18.7 points per game) and G Fred VanVleet (14.7 PPG) have especially struggled while shooting 39.3% and 36.4%, respectively, from the field. PG Kyle Lowry, however, is averaging 19.3 PPG and 9.7 assists per game on 42.2% field-goal shooting and 39.1% from 3-point range.

The Knicks overcame their injury issues in a comfortable win over the Cavs, but the degree of difficulty will be ratcheted up Thursday against a healthier and more talented Raptors squad. PF Julius Randle and PG RJ Barrett meet their matches in Siakam and Lowry, respectively.

The Raptors finally get a win Thursday, but we can’t lay -450 on an 0-3 team, or any team for that matter. PASS on the ML and turn to the spread for the proper value.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Raptors and Knicks met just twice in the pandemic-shortened 2019-20 campaign. Toronto won by scores of 126-98 and 118-112.

There are just far too many players shooting below their career averages for the Raptors to continue to struggle offensively. They’re averaging an Eastern Conference-worst 102.0 PPG – down from 112.8 PPG in 2019-20.

Bet the RAPTORS -9.5 (+100) to right the ship and pummel a familiar opponent in a win by 10 or more points.

Over/Under (O/U)

Both teams are coming off their best defensive efforts of the 2020-21 season. Again, the Knicks will be better-tested against a healthier and deeper team than the Cavs.

Back the OVER 215.5 (-110) on one of the lowest projections on the NYE slate. Both meetings last year saw at least 220 points scored.
