Betting on the Toronto Raptors

  • Regular Season Record: 13-18

The Toronto Raptors had started the campaign in decent fashion, but their performance gradually dropped off. So now, even though they find themselves on a dreadful streak of six consecutive losses,the problems of other teams keep them 10th in the Eastern Conference, which is the last playoff spot.

The most recent defeat in that streak for the Canadian team took place last Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers.Although they had a good performance despite being visitors, the locals ended up winning 101-104 in overtime, wasting Pascal Siakam’s great performance, who finished with 38 points, 15 rebounds, and 6 assists.

That game against the 76ers could be taken as an instance to illustrate what the Raptors’ campaign has been like, given that while they have been a solid team on defense, they have not been effective offensively, giving up an average of exactly 111.1 points scored and allowed per game.

Betting on the New York Knicks

Unlike the Raptors, the New York Knicks have managed to overcome an inconsistent first two months of the season to become one of the most competitive teams in the league at the moment: they are in sixth place in the East and five games off the lead after winning each of their last seven games.

Although winning four of those seven games on the road is something to be noted, the New Yorkers now need to prove they can also repeat the feat at home, where they have left much to be desired with a 7-7 record.

The Knicks continue to produce decently offensively, as they have an average of 114.1 points per game; but they have been much more solid on defense in recent weeks, allowing 106 points or fewer in six of their last seven outings,including four in which they limited their opponent to less than 100 points.

The Raptors’ main problem over the last month has been their lack of offensive consistency. And this won’t be the best scenario to change that, given that they’ll be facing a Knicks that are still averaging 112.2 points allowed, but have been terrific on their side of the court recently.

However, it should be noted that the Raptors have been at their best defensively, stopping even the 76ers in their last game. So, at least they will be able to give problems to a Knicks team that will play tired after the match they played the night before.

Eight of the Knicks’ last ten games have covered the Under, so with two teams that have looked solid defensively going head-to-head, and the Knicks low on strength as they are playing on back-to-back days, we expect that trend to continue. Plus, we believe we’ll have a low-scoring game.

Prediction: Under.
