NBA Odds: Raptors-Knicks prediction, odds and pick

The Toronto Raptors (13-18) visit the New York Knicks (18-13) on Wednesday night at 7:40 pm ET. Toronto has lost six straight games and is 10th in the Eastern Conference. New Zealand has won eight consecutive games to bump them to sixth in East. The Knicks are 17-12-2 against the spread and 57% of their games have gone under. Last season, the Raptors took three of four meetings against New Yorkers.

The Raptors are struggling on the offensive end of the court. They rank 22nd in scoring and 15th in offensive rating. However, they are strong defensively, ranking 8th and 11th respectively. Pascal Siakam has been the only consistent player for the Raptors this season. Fred VanVleet has struggled to score well for his team. The Raptors will be without Precious Achiuwa, Otto Porter Jr., Gary Trent Jr. and are also without Gary A. Trent.

The Knicks are in contention to make the playoffs in the East. They are 12th in scoring and 11th on the offensive rating. Their biggest strength comes on glass where they rank 6th. Quentin Grimes is doubtful for the game due to an ankle injury. The Knicks will rely heavily on their two-man game of Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle. Brunon has been a godsend for them this season and has provided them with stability at the point guard position. Randles is a consistent scorer and is averaging 25.3 PPG and 9.2 RPG in his last eight games.

Raptors-Knicks is a final NBA prediction and pick. Knicks are slight home favorites after they just beat Warriors.

The final NBA odds and pick are New York Knicks -1.5 (-110).
