Raptors at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 107, Raptors 104

Moneyline

BET KNICKS (-135).

The Knicks have won 7 of their last 8 games and are playing almost as well as they did during their 8-game win streak from Dec. 4-20. New York is 2nd in opponent shooting percentage at 45.1% and should be able to contain a Raptors offense that is 29th in shooting percentage at 44.9%, especially if starting VanVleet doesn’t play.

Against the spread

PASS.

This spread is right where it should be and the cover may come down to late free throws on take fouls. Bet the moneyline or total instead.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 218.5 (-108).

Monday should be a low-scoring affair between 2 defensive-minded coaches, Toronto’s Nick Nurse and New York’s Tom Thibodeau. New York is 7th in opponent points per game this season (111.1) and the Under is 5-1 in Toronto’s last 6 games after losing by more than 10 points in its previous game.

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.

Toronto Raptors at New York Knicks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Toronto Raptors at New York Knicks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Toronto Raptors (4-3) visit the New York Knicks (5-1) Monday. Tipoff at Madison Square Garden is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Raptors vs. Knicks odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The New York Knicks are picking up where they left off last season They’re thriving, but they’re doing so differently. The Knicks defense rating has dropped, but they still rank No. 6 in net rating.

They are 4-2 against the spread (ATS) and have been a solid team to bet on. Led by PG Kemba Walker, SG Evan Fournier and PF Julius Randle, the Knicks have legit Finals aspirations.

They’ll be taking on a surprising Raptors team. No. 4 pick SF Scottie Barnes is finding his footing while OG Anunoby has continued his ascension into stardom.

Without PF Pascal Siakam, no one expected the Raptors to be over .500 through seven games. But they are, and they’re legit.

Let’s dive into how to bet this game.

Raptors at Knicks odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 111, Raptors 103

Money line

PASS. While I like the Knicks to win at home, betting a -270 money line is not a smart move. The Knicks are a mid-to-top-tier team in the East.

With the Raptors in the middle of the pack, the money line is far too expensive. It would have to be the best against the worst to consider something like this, and that situation is not this game.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the KNICKS -6.5 (-107) as they have been a covering machine.

They’re 4-2 ATS and were among the top covering teams a season ago. Also, they’re playing a team that doesn’t match up well with them.

Walker will go going against a shorter PG in Fred VanVleet while Randle will get either Barnes or Anunoby, neither of which quite have the size to defend him.

With C Mitchell Robinson also having size on C Precious Achiuwa, I expect the Knicks to dominate the glass and also the scoreboard. The Knicks are 2-1 ATS at home.

Over/Under

BET OVER 210.5 (-115) as the best bet in this game. The Raptors would’ve hit this total in three of their last four games, three of which have been wins.

The Knicks would’ve hit a combined 211 in six of seven. It’s a low number as it adjusted as a result of fewer points being scored, partially due to the new rule permitting fewer foul calls on unnatural offensive movements.

The Knicks rank third in offensive rating. While the Raptors have a solid defense, slowing down Walker and Fournier is easier said than done, especially with Barnes and Anunoby their two top defenders.

Also, neither have the size to hang with Randle, so he should be able to have his way as well.

As for Toronto, it has the No. 7 defensive rating over its last four games. Barnes is averaging over 18 points per game and has hit over 20 his last two outings.

Combine a surging offense and one that’s consistently been solid this season, and we should see more than 210 points scored.

Toronto Raptors at New York Knicks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Toronto Raptors at New York Knicks NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Toronto Raptors (21-32) are in the Big Apple Sunday for an 8 p.m. ET tip-off with the New York Knicks (26-27) at Madison Square Garden. Below, we analyze the Raptors-Knicks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Toronto is slipping out of playoff contention—seeded 11th in the Eastern Conference—and has lost six of its past nine games while going 2-7 against the spread.

The last three wins for the Raptors have come against the terrible Cleveland Cavaliers, the Bradley Beal-less Washington Wizards and Stephen Curry-less Golden State Warriors.

New York broke a two-game losing skid with a thrilling 133-129 overtime win over the Memphis Grizzlies Friday as a 1.5-point home underdog.

The Knicks are 2-5 straight up in their last seven games but have covered the spread in each of their past four games. They are in eighth place in the East, 4 games ahead of Toronto.

The Raptors waxed the Knicks 100-83 as 8.5-point home favorites on New Year’s Eve in their first meeting this season. Toronto has covered the spread in four of its last five games vs. New York.

Raptors at Knicks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 108, Raptors 102

Money line (ML)

PASS because I “LEAN” New York ATS here but the Knicks (-150) are too expensive for an outright victory over a good Raptors team having a terrible season.

You never know which version of Toronto is going to show up and this young New York squad is still figuring out how to win.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

“LEAN” to the KNICKS -3 (-110) for .75 units only because we are getting the worst of the number as this game opened with New York laying just 1 point.

The market is barreling into the Knicks to cover and it’s generally not wise to follow a crowd of people in sports betting; however, I agree with the majority of the market and think New York can create enough margin to cover 3 points.

Toronto is 25th in 3-point field-goal attempts allowed per game and New York is third in 3-point shooting percentage since the All-Star break. Conversely, the Raptors are 23rd in 3-point shooting post-All-Star break and the Knicks have the best 3-point defense in the Association.

Over/Under (O/U)

Slight “LEAN” to the UNDER 216.5 (-110) for a quarter-unit because that’s the presumptive “sharp” side.

According to Pregame.com, 80% of the money is on the Under while nearly 70% of the bets placed are with the Over. Since, typically, the “sharp” side of the market is the money column and the “average Joe” is represented in the tickets column, let’s follow the money.
