Raptors vs. Knicks Pick
Raptors vs. Knicks Spread Pick
- Knicks (4 units)
Toronto went into Saturday winners of nine straight games to take the top spot in the Atlantic Division. The problem for the Raptors here is two-fold. They play the second game of a back-to-back here and they have to travel to play their second game in less than 24 hours while the Knicks had Saturday off after winning Friday at home. Losing Barrett is a blow for the Raptors as well as it takes a key contributor out of the mix. While Toronto has been good on the road this season, New York is a stellar 9-1 at home and has won three straight games themselves. Look for the Knicks to take advantage of a tired Toronto squad to come up with the win here.
Raptors vs. Knicks Over/Under Pick
- Under (4 units)
Toronto has stayed under the number in 11 of their 19 games on the year entering Saturday. The Raptors are 9th in the league in scoring offense, 9th in offensive efficiency and 11th in tempo by averaging 100.8 possessions a night. New York entered Friday having seen the over post a 10-8 mark on the season. The Knicks are 6th in scoring offense, 3rd in offensive efficiency, 14th in defensive efficiency and 24th in tempo with 99.3 possessions per game. Both teams entered Saturday having stayed under the total in five of their previous six games. With Toronto fatigued and the Knicks solid defensively, lean to the under in this contest.
