Toronto Raptors
This game features the return of RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley to the Garden for the first time since being packaged in the trade that brought OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa, and Malachi Flynn to the Knicks.
Since joining Toronto, Barrett is averaging 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and shooting 39.5 percent from the perimeter. Quickley is averaging 18 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 5.2 assists while shooting a blistering 45.2 percent from deep.

The Raptors are riding the middle ground possessing a 20-21-1 record against the spread in 42 games this season.
Raptors Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jakob Poeltl, C (OUT indefinitely— ankle)
- Otto Porter Jr., SF (downgraded to doubtful — knee)
New York Knicks
In contrast to the new-look Raptors the Knicks have been on a roll with the addition of OG Anunoby. Coach Tom Thibodeau is playing OG major minutes reminding fans of how he used to utilize Luol Deng in his Chicago Bulls days.
Anunoby has registered over 40 minutes in each of the last three games. While the new Knick is logging major minutes it’s translating into success defensively as the team has produced the top-rated defense since his arrival.

Free Toronto Raptors vs. New York Knicks NBA Prediction:
Masai Ujiri has committed to a rebuild slash retool having traded Pascal Siakam as well since the deal with New York turning the page to the Scottie Barnes era.
The team that once boasted a bevy of 6’9 players is now very small especially since Jakob Poeltl is out injured which will give the lengthy Knicks an added advantage.
Pride will undoubtedly factor for the players involved in the trade and while the Knicks should easily take care of business there is no discounting the emotions of players revisiting their former team.
I’m inclined to take the points but without enough big men to handle the boards it should result in added possessions for the Knicks and therefore I’ll take the home team to cover.
