New York Knicks vs Toronto Raptors Moneyline Prediction

The Knicks had their backs against the wall on Thursday, but they got the job done and secured a 112-106 win over the Boston Celtics.

That victory shouldn’t be overlooked, as New York managed to hold on late and iced the game with back-to-back threes from Josh Hart, keeping their chances to finish the season with the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference very much alive.

The Knicks are shifting into another gear, as the win over Boston was their sixth in a row and eighth in their last 10 home contests. That impressive run of form should put the rest of the NBA on notice with the playoffs right around the corner.

However, the Raptors have also been playing well lately and have won two games in a row and three of the last four.

Toronto’s most recent outing ended in a 128-114 victory over the Miami Heat on Thursday, so both teams will enter this matchup playing the second leg of a back-to-back.

The Knicks are at home, while the Raptors are in the middle of a road trip. Playing back-to-back games away from home this late in the season could be extremely tiring.

Ultimately, the Knicks should have the edge based on rest and home-court advantage, and it wouldn’t be surprising if they come away with the win. They’ve also won each of their four previous meetings with the Raptors this season, which gives them a psychological edge.

New York Knicks vs Toronto Raptors Player Prop

If the Knicks are going to secure a win on the second leg of a back-to-back against a playoff contender, Jalen Brunson will need to step up.

The star floor general is coming off a 25-point, 10-assist double-double in the win over the Celtics and should once again carry a high usage rate in this matchup.

Brunson’s recent performances have been outstanding. His outing against the Celtics marked his third consecutive double-double, and he’s reached that mark in three of his last six appearances.

Over that six-game stretch, the star floor general is averaging 23.7 points, 9.8 assists, and 2.5 rebounds per game, thriving both as a scorer and a playmaker.

New York Knicks vs Toronto Raptors Same Game Parlay

Our three-leg parlay begins with the under on total points. Not only because this game should have a playoff-like atmosphere, which typically favours lower-scoring contests, but also because both sides will be extremely tired, given this will be the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Expect Karl-Anthony Towns and Brandon Ingram to step up offensively. Towns posted 16 points and 12 rebounds in the win over the Celtics.

He’s always finding ways to produce and is averaging 18.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.0 steals per game over his last five appearances. He also benefits from a favourable matchup down low against Poeltl.

As for Ingram, the star forward will carry a hot hand into this meeting after notching a season-high 38 points in Thursday’s win over the Heat. Since the All-Star break, he has averaged 20.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.6 threes across 33.5 minutes per game.

New York Knicks vs Toronto Raptors Team News

New York Knicks Team News

The Knicks will be close to full strength for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With the team still fighting for the second seed in the Eastern Conference, they’re not expected to rest players or make drastic changes to the rotation.

The lone potential absence for New York is Tyler Kolek, who is nursing an oblique injury and may not be available on Friday.

Toronto Raptors Team News

The Raptors should have the entire rotation available now that Jakob Poeltl and Collin Murray-Boyles have overcome their back and finger injuries, respectively. The only expected absences are Chucky Hepburn (knee) and Trayce Jackson-Davis (illness), but neither is a regular member of the rotation.
