Anunoby (foot sprain) doesn&#8217;t play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-89a1765e-b418-46d4-b497-651bc59723d9\">Other SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Towns over 23.5 points (-117):<\/strong> Towns is going through a mid-season slump, but he has feasted on the Raptors this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The five-time All-Star exceeded the 23.5-point mark in all three games vs. Toronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the Raps have made notable strides with their perimeter defence, KAT&#8217;s seven-foot frame and shooting range pose a daunting challenge for any team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Big men like Nikola Vucevic and Ivica Zubac have had success against them in recent games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a good time to buy low on the Knicks all-star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quickley 2+ threes (-167):<\/strong> Quickley will be determined to ball out against his former team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since joining the Raps, he has cashed this prop in both games played against the Knicks. In addition, Quickley drained two-plus threes in five of his last eight games, averaging 6.2 attempts during that stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Knicks, meanwhile, are rock-bottom at defending the three-point shot (37.8%) and could be without their best defender in Anunoby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quickley has struggled to stay on the court this season, but when healthy, the 25-year-old point guard has proven to be a consistent scoring threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-049eee7c-fa25-40b8-b13d-7bb92000f313\"><em>Picks made at 11:14 a.m. on 02\/04\/25.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Knicks play the second game of a back-to-back when they visit the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night.
