Toronto is working on two days of rest. The Raptors are seventh in the NBA in rebounding behind forward Pascal Siakam, including fifth on the offensive glass. Toronto is 150-108 ATS on the road after having lost five or six of their last seven. New York comes home from a three-game road trip, getting ripped in the last two games at Milwaukee (146-122) and Boston (133-122). They're also on a 4-4 SU, 2-6 ATS run and have failed to cover three of their last four as chalk. Leading scorer Jalen Brunson (24.8 points, 5.5 assists per game) twisted his ankle in the final seconds of Friday's loss to Boston. The Knicks are 21st in the league in scoring (112 points per contest), 26th in shooting (45%), and 28th from the free-throw line (74.6%). NBA favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points are 123-189 ATS after scoring 120+ points in two consecutive games, so back the visitors in what should be a close division rivalry game. Play Toronto.
