Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks Prediction
The Raptors have ruled out Chucky Hepburn, with Trayce Jackson-Davis listed as questionable with an illness, while the Knicks are keeping an eye on Tyler Kolek, who is dealing with an oblique injury. These teams have already met four times this season, with the Knicks leading the series by 4-0 and each of those wins was by double digits. The Raptors enter this meeting with some momentum following consecutive wins over the Heat, but the Knicks are still the clear favorites at home, especially after last night’s win over the streaking Celtics. This should still be a close contest, but it’s hard to go past the Knicks when they’re playing this well.
