Raptors vs Knicks Prediction
The Raptors have been playing very well recently and they have been heating up a lot coming into this game. They have won their last 3 straight and 8 of their last 9 games but their last 4 games have all been wins by 10 points or less. They have been playing in much closer games recently and they are going up against a Knicks team that has also been playing well in their recent games. The Knicks have won 2 of their last 3 games with both of those wins coming by over 20 points but they will not have their best player here, RJ Barrett, and that is going to hurt them a lot in this game. The Knicks have still been playing well though and with how the Raptors have been playing recently, the Knicks should keep this a closer game. The Raptors will still win here but only by single digits as they close out the regular season here.
