Raptors at Knicks Under 218 (Early Start)
The spot is rough on both teams made worse by a very early start time that should favor the Under especially with daylight savings time kicking in.
Toronto is playing for the fourth time in six days. The Raptors’ last two games were an overtime road victory against the Pistons and an emotional home win stopping the Rockets’ 17-game win streak two days ago.
New York is back at Madison Square Garden for the first time since Feb. 26 following a four-game road trip that concluded Friday night against the Bucks.This will be their third game in a third different time zone.
The Raptors rank No. 2 in the NBA in defensive efficiency. The Knicks have no go-to scorer with Kristpas Porzingis out.
The Under has cashed in five of the last six meetings between the two teams. I’m expecting a low-energy, sloppy game here.
