There’s only one NBA game tipping off Monday night, and it takes place inside Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> The Raptors host the New York Knicks, a squad that dominated this head-to-head matchup a season ago. Even so, I like Toronto to cover an alt spread at home tonight, and I’m backing Scottie Barnes and Jalen Brunson on the prop market to round out this SGP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my Knicks vs. Raptors same-game parlay predictions for Dec. 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knicks vs. Raptors predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go to full NBA betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parlay: Raptors +10.5 + Barnes over 7.5 assists<\/strong><\/strong> + Brunson over 2.5 threes<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> (+310)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #102849<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raptors +10.5 (-240):<\/strong> The NBA standings don’t mirror the ATS standings, but Raptors fans can at least be proud of their team’s effort level this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toronto is 7-17 overall but 16-8 ATS. That includes a 9-3 ATS record at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teasing the spread up to +10.5 means taking it to a number Toronto has covered in 17 of 24 games (70.8%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York has gone 2-6 ATS in its past eight games as a road favourite, losing five of those games straight up (at Mavericks, Jazz, Pacers, Hawks, Rockets).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karl-Anthony Towns missed the Knicks’ Dec. 7 game, which was a home loss to the Pistons as 8-point favourites. He’s listed as questionable, and if he’s out \u2014 or even limited \u2014 that’ll certainly help Toronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Barnes over 7.5 assists<\/strong> (-155):<\/strong> Barnes went under this number in all three of his matchups against the Knicks last season, but he was also playing a less pass-happy brand of basketball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 2023-24:<\/strong> 6.1 assists, 10.7 potential assists\/game<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 2024-25:<\/strong> 7.8 assists, 14.9 potential assists\/game<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    That uptick in potential assists, which tracks the number of passes\/game that immediately lead to a shot, tells a great story about how often Barnes is facilitating for his teammates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Only six players in the NBA are averaging more potential assists per game. Barnes is ahead of big-time passers like Luka Doncic, James Harden and LaMelo Ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Barnes has cleared 7.5 assists in five straight games. He finished with exactly seven assists in each of the three games before that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Brunson over 2.5 threes (-113):<\/strong> I like this as a straight wager, and it provides a nice boost to this SGP because of the negative correlation with Toronto’s alt spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Brunson is on an extended heater, shooting 45.5% from 3-point range over his past 13 games. He’s cashed this bet nine times in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Toronto allows the eighth-most 3s per game to opposing point guards (3.3), per Betting Pros, and Brunson hit this over in three of four matchups against the Raps last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
