Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks prediction
The Raptors just haven’t been able to string anything together this season, so they’re not a team I’m eager to back night to night, especially on the road. The New York Knicks are 6-3 SU at home and beat the Raptors by 13 points last week. I’d need more points to consider the Raptors in this spot. We’re not laying much with the Knicks. Give me the home team for the win and cover.
