Raptors vs. Knicks Prediction

This marks the third in a trilogy of showdowns between these two teams this season. Last time, the Knicks picked up the win 112-108. Before that, the Raptors got the job done 113-106 in the game that started the Knicks' five-game skid last month.

The Knicks have been looking great of late. Power forward Julius Randle and point guard Derek Brunson have been leading the charge of offense with averages of 24.5 and 22.2 points per game, respectively. On defense, the Knicks have frequently contested shots around the rim and perimeter.

The Raptors, meanwhile, have had a largely disappointing season. Offensively, they've looked great at the charity stripe but largely average everywhere else. Defensively, they're of a similar quality to the Knicks but have found difficulty around the rim and perimeter.

With the home-court advantage, momentum, and no injuries, the New York Knicks will likely get the job done tonight in a closely contested match.

Prediction: Knicks -3 (-110)
