Raptors vs Knicks Prediction 11/15/26 NBA Picks Today

The Knicks don’t have any players listed on the injury report, while the Raptors are still missing Kawhi Leonard, with Scottie Barnes currently listed as questionable.

The Knicks could really do with a win after dropping their last two games, and they will like their chances against this banged-up Raptors team, who are really struggling right now. It wouldn’t be shocking if the Raptors snapped out of their funk with an upset win at home, but with the injury cloud still hanging over Barnes, I definitely prefer a play on the Knicks at the short line in this spot. The Knicks haven’t been at their best in their last two games, but they should be good enough to handle this short-handed Raptors squad.

The New York Knicks have cooled off a bit recently as they are now looking to avoid a third straight defeat after falling painfully short to the Pacers in a 106-104 road defeat on Friday. Jalen Brunson continued his strong form with 33 points and 11 assists on 11-of-22 shooting, Karl-Anthony Towns tallied 23 points with 15 rebounds and five assists, while Mikal Bridges chipped in with 18 points on eight-of-12 shooting.

As a team, the Knicks shot just 43 percent from the field and 16 of 46 from the 3-point line as they got off to a sloppy start and had to work their way back from a 14-point deficit. The Knicks looked primed to take the lead and escape with the win, but the Pacers responded with a crucial 13-0 run in the fourth quarter to snatch the game away.

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have been in a slump as they’ve lost six of their last eight games, and they will be hoping to arrest a three-game slide after getting routed by the 76ers in a 123-112 loss on Thursday. RJ Barrett led the team with 31 points, 14 rebounds and five assists on 13 of 20 shooting; Immanuel Quickley added 26 points with six assists on eight of 16 shooting, while Collin Murray-Boyles chipped in with 14 points and five blocks.

As a team, the Raptors shot 48 percent from the field and 14 of 37 from the 3-point line as they started the game red-hot and looked to be in control when they jumped out to a 17-point lead, but they lost the lead faster than they got and just had no answers after the 76ers closed the third quarter on a pivotal 11-2 run.
