Knicks vs. Raptors Predictions for NBA Cup on Prime, 12/9

It was just 10 days ago when these top Eastern Conference teams clashed, which is when it made a bit more sense that these teams could be two of the top seeds. After Toronto lost that game, they’ve gone on to lose three of their last four games. Meanwhile, New York has now won three straight games.

Therefore, when it comes to Knicks vs. Raptors predictions for tonight, Jalen Brunson and company clearly have the momentum. Of course, Toronto gets to be at home, but recently losing to a Charlotte Hornets team that was 6-16 at the time leaves a lot to be desired. As you could have guessed, we still have to consider injuries in New York.

As is often the case, Karl Anthony-Towns is the biggest name to keep an eye on, but he is expected to be ready to go tonight. Conversely, Toronto’s RJ Barrett will NOT be a part of any Knicks vs. Raptors predictions, as he is still at least a week away from suiting back up. With those notes in mind, we’ve got New York as a rather clear favorite tonight.

They covered an even bigger spread against Toronto less than two weeks ago, so let’s see if it makes the cut in terms of the best bet from our Knicks vs. Raptors predictions.

 

 

 

Knicks vs. Raptors Best Bet: Toronto Team Total Under 112.5 Points (-110 at Onyx Odds)

While we do expect New York to make it four straight wins and Toronto to make it four straight losses, and perhaps even cover the spread in the process, we’ve got a slightly more specific approach that we love more. As you can see, that’s with the Knicks putting their defense on display.

That’s exactly what they did when these teams met on the last day of November, as this would have hit had you made it the pick from your Knicks vs. Raptors. New York held Immanuel Quickly and company to just 94 points, spoiling another revenge game for the former near-Sixth Man of the Year.

Leading up to that loss, the Raptors had also scored 111 points or fewer in three straight games, and even the aforementioned Hornets held them to just 86 points! That’s a defense that has allowed the eighth-MOST points per game, whereas New York allows the fifth-FEWEST points per game.

No RJ Barrett means that they’re also missing nearly 20 points per game from him, so we’re going to be locking in the best bet from our Knicks vs. Raptors predictions on Toronto’s team total under 112.5 points (-110 at Onyx Odds).
