New York Knicks at Toronto Raptors Preview & Picks

Toronto are tipped to cover as a home underdog.

The Raptors have been a reliable underdog over the past few weeks and could be facing a New York team without Karl-Anthony Towns.

  • Toronto Raptors are 8-3-0 ATS in their last 11 games
  • New York Knicks are 4-4-0 ATS in their previous 8 games
  • The Over has cashed in 8 of the last 10 meetings
  • The Over has hit in each of New York’s last 3 games

Head To Head

  • Toronto Raptors lead the all-time series 64-54
  • New York Knicks won 145-101 when the two teams last met on March 27

New York Knicks Form

New York head to Toronto on the back of a defeat but in good form, having won nine of their previous 12 games.

The Knicks began this sequence with back-to-back home wins over Brooklyn, as they beat the Nets 124-122 and 114-104.

They then beat Washington 134-106 at home and Phoenix 138-122 on the road, before rebounding from a 121-106 loss in Utah with a 145-118 blowout of Denver.

New York then responded to a 129-114 loss in Dallas with a four-game win streak, winning 99-98 in Charlotte before heading home to down New Orleans 118-85, Orlando 121-106 and Charlotte 125-101.

The Knicks failed to make it five-in-a-row though, as they were beaten 120-111 by Detroit on Saturday.

Toronto Raptors Form

Toronto go into this game having lost back-to-back games and 12 of their previous 17 outings.

The Raptors lost seven straight in November, before rebounding with home wins over Indiana, 130-119, and Minnesota, 110-105.

They failed to build on those wins as they then went out on the road to lose 122-108 in Cleveland and 102-100 in Detroit, before beating New Orleans 119-93.

Toronto then responded to a 121-111 defeat in Miami with home wins over the Heat, 119-116 and Indiana 122-111.

However, the Raptors have not won since that victory over the Pacers, losing 129-92 to Oklahoma City and 125-118 to Dallas.

Verdict

Toronto may be in poor form, but they have been a decent spread bet in recent weeks.

The Knicks, on the other hand, have been hit and miss and could again be without KAT, so give us the Raptors and the free buckets.
