2026 NBA Handicapping – New York Knicks vs. Toronto Raptors
Here’s why I’m backing New York ATS in my Knicks Raptors free pick & gambling prediction for this matchup.
Knicks vs. Raptors Gameday
New York travels to Toronto on November 15 for an NBA matchup at Scotiabank Arena. Tipoff is scheduled for 6:00 ET, with both teams still searching to find some winning consistency.
The Knicks have lost two games in a row while the Raptors are on their own three-game losing streak.
Per John Schuhmann: The Raptors will play eight of their next 10 games at home, but after they host Memphis on Monday, they’ll play five of their next six against the Celtics, Sixers, Knicks (x 2) and Pistons. They went 3-13 against that group last season, with two of those three wins coming against Philly.
Neither team has found their stride, with the Knicks seemingly dealing with a championship hangover and the Raptors trying to be competitive while missing their top two players.

CP Is More Than Just Sports Picks!
Barnes is the key for the Raptors, particularly while Kawhi Leonard remains out. The problem is the youngster has also missed time dealing with a groin strain. It’s a load to put on the young wing, as he’s also the primary defender. He’s listed as questionable for this match.
The other key scorer to game plan for is R.J. Barrett, who has been the most consistent in the early season.
New York Knicks vs. Toronto Raptors bottom line: In the first of a baseball set between the clubs, both teams are reeling from consecutive losses. New York has the healthier squad, and that factor alone should propel them to have a decided advantage.

Knicks Raptors Free Pick: Knicks -4.5
Here is my Knicks Raptors free pick: I’m playing New York ATS.
Based on the recent showings, it’s hard to be impressed by either club as they bring losing streaks into the match, but health should be the advantage for New York.
That said, if Scottie Barnes surprises and returns to play, I’d consider taking the points and for this to be a closer contest.
Per John Schuhmann: The Raptors lost some depth in the summer and have been dealing with more absences than that of Leonard, but they’ve had the league’s fifth-ranked bench through the first three weeks. They’ve been at their best with Allen Graves or Collin Murray-Boyles on the floor, and they got 30 points off the bench from Alijah Martin in Milwaukee on Saturday. (His previous career high was nine.)
As it stands, Barnes is listed as questionable, and Leonard is still ramping up for his return to the court, and since there is no assurance either will play, I’ll take the Knicks to win and cover.
