Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks prediction

The Toronto Raptors have been a mess all week long, and now they go on the road, where they're 6-15 SU on the season. The New York Knicks have been consistent since adding OG Anunoby, and they've covered 7 of their last 10 games as well. The Knicks beat the Raptors twice in December, and it feels like they're better now than before. I'll lay the points with the Knicks at home.
