New York Knicks vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
The Knicks are having a good week, but two of those three wins came against bottom feeders. After a rough stretch, I need to see the Knicks really prove that they’re back. The Knicks are on the end of a back to back, while the Raptors are rested and in great form. The Raptors are 4-0 SU and ATS in their last 4 games. If there was a spot where the Raptors can get a rare win over the Knicks, it’s probably here. The Raptors haven’t beat the Knicks since January 2023. That streak ends tonight. I’ll lay the bucket.
