Why bet on the New York Knicks

The New York Knicks (22-25) are struggling a little at the moment, having lost 3 in a row and 6 of their last 10. That said, they do have the distinction of beating the Raptors in their only other meeting so far this season. The Knicks have had some pretty decent success against Atlantic Division foes this season, and are a rather healthy 6-2 there. The problem for the Knicks is that they have lost their last 4 road games, but since they have a pretty good stretch of games at home to look forward to, they may be looking at this as a chance to pick up a big win that can catapult them forward over the next couple of weeks. The Knicks are averaging 99.6 PPG, and are giving up 101.2 PPG.

Why bet on the Toronto Raptors

The Raptors (30-15) must be loving all the drama that is going on in Cleveland right now, as it has allowed them to slip under the radar and pull within 2 games of the Cavaliers atop the Eastern Conference. This is not something that has happened by chance or luck, though, as the Raptors are heading into this game on a truly impressive 9-game winning streak. The Raptors have been particularly hard on teams below the .500 mark, boasting a 17-8 record versus that bunch. They have also been very good at home, and are 16-6 on the season so far. The Raptors are averaging 101.3 PPG, and ae giving up 96.6 PPG.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

The Raptors are on a 5-game winning streak on home court, and I find it hard to believe that the Knicks will be the team to bring that to an end. I like the Raptors to win this one quite comfortably. New York Knicks 95 Toronto Raptors 105
