Game Preview
After winning their last three home games, the Toronto Raptors (9-10) will host the New York Knicks (11-7) on December 1 at Scotiabank Arena.
The New York Knicks will be looking for a 3rd consecutive victory after edging the tenacious Pistons 118-112. They have won 9 of their previous 12 games overall, so they are in excellent form. Julius Randle contributed 29 points and 10 rebounds, while Jalen Brunson paced the team with 42 points and 8 assists on 13 of 24 shots. Despite the fact that Brunson and Randle both average a minimum of 20 points and 5 assists per game, New York sets a premium on defense. Despite having the least amount of blocks, it permits the second fewest points per game. When surrendering 108 points or more, the Knicks have a 4-5 record; when permitting 107 points or less, they have a 7-2 record.
The Toronto Raptors, on the other hand, have been playing well; they have won 4 of their past seven games overall. They will be hoping to maintain their current winning streak after defeating the Suns 112-105. With 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists, Scottie Barnes topped the squad while Pascal Siakam followed with 22 points and 9 rebounds. With 6 players producing an average in the double figures and a minimum of 5 assists per game from Barnes, Pascal Siakam, and Dennis Schroder, Toronto is a well-rounded group. Toronto isn’t the most effective team, though, since it is among the bottom 5 in the NBA for both free throw % and 3-point percentage. Toronto, which ranks seventh in terms of offensive rebounds per game, will be looking to counteract that poor shooting with more possessions. The Raptors have a pretty solid defense as they surrender 112.2 points per game and are 10th in the NBA in defensive efficiency.
