AccuScore has the Raptors as solid 82.6 percent favorites to win, a number that would warrant a -474 price on the money-line. However, Vegas has the Raptors at -1300 on the money-line, a price that should be avoided.
Bettors can look at the spread and total for more value though. The average score after 10,000-plus simulations is 102-92. There is nearly a 56 percent chance NY covers a +12.5 spread. Toronto is 2-5 ATS in its last seven games when playing New York.
AccuScore Best Bet: There is a 54.5 percent chance the total combined score stays UNDER 197.5, a 4-star (out of four) AccuScore hot trend. The total has gone UNDER in five of Toronto’s last seven games at home.
Keep an Eye Out: On average, the Raptors had 11 more rebounds than the Knicks in simulations. Toronto averaged about five more offensive rebounds.
Projected Leaders Carmelo Anthony: 23 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 TOs Kyle Lowry: 18 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 TOs
