Back on 12/21, the Raptors handed the Knicks a 113-106 loss at Madison Square Garden. New York came into that game on an 8-game win streak, then promptly lost its next five (including the game vs. Toronto). But the Knicks are now seemingly back on track with three straight wins and they’re back in the top six of the Eastern Conference.

Toronto came into that last meeting with the Knicks on a six-game losing streak. Fast forward to today and they are reeling yet again with losses in four out of their last five games. A massive rally Wednesday against Milwaukee (trailed by 21 with 3:50 to go) was ultimately in vain as the Raptors eventually lost in OT. They are now 3-10 L13 games.

As tempting as the points look here, the Knicks’ three straight victories have come at the expense of: Houston, San Antonio and a depleted Phoenix team.

I like the Under here as - even with OT - the Raptors’ last game only saw 205 combined points scored. They have not shot the ball well of late (42.9% L5 games) and the Knicks don’t shoot well when they are on the road (43.8%).

Pascal Siakam scored 52, a career-high for him, in that previous meeting. That won’t happen again. The Under is 11-5 in the Knicks’ previous 16 road games. 10*
