- Our 20* NBA Wednesday Vegas O/U Jackpot is with the New York/Toronto under at 7:40 pm et.
The immovable object that is the hard-working New York Knicks defense plays against the anemic and injury-riddled Toronto Raptors tonight. The Knicks have won six of their last seven games after a 124-99 victory against Detroit on Monday. They held the Pistons to just 38.6% shooting from the field to make it six of their last nine games where their opponent did not shoot better than 40.5%. New York has held seven of their last nine opponents to under 100 points. They rank eighth in defensive efficiency despite dealing with several major injuries this season. They held Brooklyn to just 93 points in their previous game, and they have played eight of their last nine games under the number after holding two or more straight opponents to less than 100 points. They have played twenty-five of their last thirty-five games under the total after beating their previous opponent by 15 or more points. New York usually maintains their intensity on defense against Atlantic division opponents since they have played eleven of their last fourteen games under the number in division games.
The Knicks lead the NBA in rebounding but will be without Julius Randle and O.G. Anunoby tonight. Randle is injured with a dislocated right shoulder and Anunoby is out with a right elbow issue so they are without two of their best rebounders. Those missing players pale in comparison to the injury list for the Raptors. Toronto is without starters Scottie Barnes, R.J. Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and Jakob Poeltl amongst several other players. These absences are taking their toll as the Raptors lost their eleventh straight game in a 96-88 loss to Brooklyn on Monday. Toronto shot 43.5% in the game making it the fourth time in their last five games they could not shoot better than 44% from the field. They have scored under 110 points in seven straight games, and they have scored under 97 points three times during this stretch of futility. The Raptors have played sixteen of their last twenty-two games at home under the number after losing their previous game, and they have played seven straight unders after losing five or more games in a row. Toronto has played seven straight unders with ten unders in their thirteen games this month, yet they have played five of their last six games under the total after playing four or more udders in a row. The Raptors play the second game of their four-game home stand having played twenty-four of their last thirty-six games under the number on their home court. Play the under.
Good luck - Team Del Genio.
