The red-hot Toronto Raptors host the New York Knicks at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> Toronto has won four straight and can leapfrog New York for third place in the Eastern Conference with a win. The Knicks have a three-game winning streak of their own cooking, but they have the league’s worst road ATS record and are 1.5-point underdogs as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my Knicks vs. Raptors picks for Jan. 28, featuring Immanuel Quickley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Best bet: Quickley over 16.5 points (-118)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quickley was traded from New York to Toronto alongside RJ Barrett two years ago as part of a blockbuster deal for OJ Anunoby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not calling for a “revenge game”, but I’m sure Quickley would like to stick it to his old team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toronto’s point guard is running hot, clearing this line in four straight games while averaging 25.3 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That includes a 40-point outburst against the Golden State Warriors and a 23-point game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, when he shot 6-of-10 from deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-> Bet on Immanuel Quickley tonight<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting things going from 3-point range would certainly help Quickley clear this point total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Knicks allow the sixth-most 3s per game (14.2) at the eighth-highest clip (36.8%). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York’s other defensive weakness is in the “short mid-range,” described as shots outside of the paint but inside the free-throw line, per Cleaning the Glass. The team ranks 23rd in short mid-range defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quickley takes 48% of his shots from 3-point range and 31% of his shots from the short mid-range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Quickley is 2-2 against this line vs. New York (1-0 this year) but has shot at least 50.0% from the field in every game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raptors moneyline pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Raptors moneyline (-125):<\/strong> There’s an old betting adage to fade teams when they arrive home after a long road trip, but I love the value on Toronto tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Raptors just went 4-1 on the West Coast, beating the reigning champion Thunder and picking up double-digit-point wins over the Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, and Golden State Warriors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toronto is now 9-4 since Jan. 1 with the seventh-best net rating in the NBA (+4.4). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-> Don’t miss out \u2014 bet on Knicks vs. Raptors at NorthStar Bets<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York’s three-game winning streak won’t shake me off this pick. Two of those wins came against bottom-five teams (Brooklyn Nets, Sacramento Kings), and the other was a three-point win over the Philadelphia 76ers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before that, the Knicks had lost four straight and eight of 10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And on the season, New York is a league-worst 6-15-0 ATS on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
