Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: New York Knicks
The Knicks were heavily criticized for their drop in form after winning the NBA Cup, but they’ve steadied the ship. They enter this matchup on a two-game winning streak and have gone 4-2 after the All-Star break.
Their 114-89 win over the Spurs on Sunday was arguably one of their most well-rounded performances of the 2025-26 campaign.
The Raptors bounced back after a brief two-game losing streak with a comfortable 134-125 win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday. However, results have looked different against elite opposition.

Their recent defeats have come against the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Spurs, widely considered the top two teams in the Western Conference, and they’re also riding an 11-game losing skid against the Knicks.
From both a standings and overall record perspective, New York should have a sizable edge here. The psychological factor of winning the last 11 encounters against this opponent could also come into play. The Raptors haven’t been dominant at home, posting a 16-15 record and losing their last three games in front of their fans, making this an especially challenging spot.

Meanwhile, the Knicks are a respectable 16-14 on the road and have won four of their last five away from Madison Square Garden. Look for New York to keep their impressive head-to-head record alive and secure a comfortable win.
Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Jalen Brunson over 23.5 points
If the Knicks are to steal the win away from home, they’ll need Brunson to be at his best. The star point guard is coming off a 24-point performance in the win over the Spurs on Sunday, though he would’ve probably posted a better stat line had the game been closer.
Brunson has scored 24 or more points in three of his six appearances since the All-Star break, averaging 23.8 points per outing in that span.
Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Knicks -5.5 + Under 221.5 points + Jalen Brunson over 30.5 points + assists
Not only are we backing the Knicks to win, but also to cover a 5.5-point spread. They’ve covered that number in their last two wins, over Milwaukee and San Antonio. While they’re favourites to win here, don’t expect a very open game, as the Raptors should keep it close.
After all, the Canadian side rank among the best NBA teams in Defensive Rating this season.
Given Toronto’s defensive strength and New York’s recent improvement on that end of the court, this clash could very well fall below the proposed scoring line. Four of the Knicks’ last five outings have stayed under 220 points, while four of the Raptors’ last five have seen under 223 points.

Another low-scoring contest might be on the cards here.
We’re also relying on another prop bet for Brunson, who should excel both as a scorer and playmaker. The star guard has posted at least 30 combined points and assists in the wins over the Bucks and Spurs, and he should be the team’s go-to option on offence once again. Brunson is averaging 26.7 points and 6.1 assists per game this season.

Toronto Raptors Team News
The Raptors aren’t dealing with many injury concerns and should have the majority of their regular rotation players available.
The lone doubt is rookie Collin Murray-Boyles, who missed Saturday’s win over the Wizards with a finger injury. He’s listed as questionable, but a decision on his status will be made closer to Tuesday’s contest. Star players Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes are both available.
New York Knicks Team News
Similar to the Raptors, the Knicks are close to full strength, and the lone absentee for Tuesday’s matchup will be Miles McBride. The combo guard, who’s a regular off the bench, is dealing with a pelvis injury and isn’t expected back on the court until April at the earliest.
The rest of the team, headlined by the star duo of Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, will be available.
