Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks Prediction 11/30/2025 Today’s NBA Picks

The Toronto Raptors invade Madison Square Garden to battle the New York Knicks on Sunday night. Here’s a Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks Prediction. This article will include a Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks Pick.

Toronto Raptors Betting Preview 

The Toronto Raptors have been on fire as they’ve won 13 of their last 15 games overall. But they will be looking to bounce back in this one after having their nine-game win streak snapped by the lowly Hornets in a 118-111 overtime road defeat last night. Scottie Barnes led the team with 30 points, 12 rebounds and five assists on 11 of 16 shooting, Brandon Ingram and Immanuel Quickley each scored 22 points while Sandro Mamukelashvili chipped in with 13 points off the bench.

As a team, the Raptors shot 44 percent from the field and nine of 29 from the 3-point line as they got off to a terrific start and poured in 34 points in the first quarter to jump out to an early 17-point lead. However, the Raptors scored just 17 points in the fourth quarter and only seven points in overtime to allow the slumping Hornets to steal the game at the end. The Raptors committed 15 turnovers and got outscored at the free throw line by 26-14 which really hurt them in a close game that could’ve gone either way. 

New York Knicks Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the New York Knicks have been in great form as they’ve won 10 of their past 13 games and they will be aiming for a fourth straight victory after beating the Bucks in a 118-109 home win on Friday. Jalen Brunson led the team with 37 points and five assists on 12 of 21 shooting, Josh Hart tallied 19 points with 15 rebounds and seven assists while Miles McBride drained five 3-pointers to finish with 19 points on five of eight shooting.

As a team, the Knicks shot 45 percent from the field and 14 of 34 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Bucks in a closely contested first half. However, despite some better defense in the second half, the Knicks couldn’t get any separation until they closed the final 2:53 on a 11-4 run to escape with the gritty win at home where they are now 9-1 on the season.

Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks Prediction

The Raptors are still missing RJ Barrett, while the Knicks have ruled out OG Anunoby and Landry Shamet once again. The Knicks were always going to open as favorites at home. They have most of their key players healthy and they are playing great basketball at the moment, but they could’ve lost their last game on Friday. I just feel the line is too high for this matchup.

The Raptors will be playing on zero days rest, but I’m sure they will be motivated to make up for last night’s effort with a better performance here. Maybe the Knicks win at home, but I still think the Raptors hang around and get the cover.
