Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks: Betting Preview

As noted, the head-to-head between the Raptors and Knicks has been very one-sided. While we noted that the Knicks are unbeaten in their last nine against Toronto, the Raptors have had some success. Over the last 20, they have won seven.

Still, the recent matchups may not instill confidence. The most recent game between these two teams was at the end of November. The Knicks won 116-94, albeit at Madison Square Garden.

In that game, Karl-Anthony Towns led with 22 points, while Josh Hart posted a double-double with 20 points and 12 rebounds. Jalen Brunson had 18 points, while the two other starters, Mikal Bridges and Miles McBride, both had 14 points. 

For the Raptors, Immanuel Quickley scored 19 points, with Scottie Barnes shooting 18. Brandon Ingram had 14.

Over the last five, the following scorelines have occurred, suggesting that the Knicks have been fairly comfortable:

• Nov 2025: Knicks 116-94 Raptors
• Feb 2025: Raptors 115-121 Knicks
• Jan 2025: Knicks 112-98 Raptors
• Dec 2024: Knicks 139-125 Raptors
• Dec 2024: Raptors 108-113 Knicks

Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks: Betting Predictions

Unsurprisingly, the latest NBA Cup Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks betting odds have the Knicks as the opening favourites in the betting to win this game. We can’t see any other result from occurring based on what has been achieved over the last nine, which is why we predict that the Knicks will win.

Both have been extremely competitive and strong during the NBA regular season, but New York appears to be Toronto’s kryptonite. Something just doesn’t go right for the Canadians when these two meet.

We like player prop markets when seeking additional betting value across the NBA. We think Brunson will have a more dominant performance this time around, as he has been hot in terms of points scoring. We predict he will have 25+ points based on recent efforts.

Scottie Barnes is another who we think will have a significant impact in the game. We predict that the Raptors' star will score 20+ points, as he has put up consistent numbers this season.
