These teams played last night with New York posting a 99-94 victory in Toronto on Friday. But New York snapped a three-game losing streak against the Raptors and Tyson Chandler (back) will miss his sixth consecutive game tonight. The younger Raptors are great in these situations - 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games when playing on no rest. Toronto hasn't quit, and are still mathematically alive in the East, though 8 1/2 games behind the eighth-place Milwaukee. Still, Raptors' G DeMar DeRozan had 18 points on Friday and is averaging 18.7 in this season's three games against the aging Knicks, and they catch a break with defensive force Chandler still out. The Raptors don't quit on the road, either, at 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games against a team with a winning home record. When these division rivals meet, the underdog is 14-3 ATS in the last 17 meetings, and the Raptors are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings, including 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings in New York. Go with Toronto.
