  • Toronto Raptors have failed to cover in each of their last 7 games
  • New York Knicks have won the last 9 meetings

  • New York Knicks won 116-94 when the two teams last met on November 30

New York Knicks Form

New York head to Toronto on a good run of form, having won seven of their last eight games and each of the previous three.

The Knicks began this strong sequence on the road as they downed Brooklyn 113-100 and Charlotte 129-101.

They then returned home to beat Milwaukee 118-109 and Toronto 116-94, only to see their streak end at four games with a 123-117 loss in Boston.

New York issued an immediate response though, beating Charlotte 119-104 at home, and they have backed that up in recent days.

The Knicks dominated Utah in a 146-112 victory, and backed that up with a 106-100 success against Orlando.

Toronto Raptors Form

Toronto enter this matchup on a rough run of form, having now lost five of their last six games and each of the previous three.

The Raptors enjoyed a red-hot run in the second half of November as they won nine consecutive games, but they have struggled to get back on track since that streak ended.

A 118-111 overtime defeat to Charlotte snapped a sequence that had gone on for 21 days, and that was followed by a 116-94 loss at New York.

Toronto bounced back with a 121-118 victory over Portland at home, but they failed to build on that win.

The Raptors lost 123-120 to the Los Angeles Lakers, and that was followed by further home defeats to Charlotte, 111-86, and Boston, 121-113.

Verdict

New York arrive as the team in clearly better form thanks to seven wins in eight.

So when you couple that with their recent dominance of the Raptors, the Knicks are the play in this one.
