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.
