What you need to know about the Knicks

The Knicks took their matchup against the Washington Wizards this past Friday by a conclusive 114-92 score. The contest was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point New York had established a 94-72 advantage. They can attribute much of their success to power forward Obi Toppin, who shot 6-for-9 from downtown and finished with a career-high 35 points. Immanuel Quickley provided a big lift off the bench as well, scoring 23 points in the win.

One of the things that has plagued New York in its previous games against Toronto has been turnovers. In those three previous matchups, the Knicks have given the ball away an average of 15.3 times. New York may have found the remedy heading into Sunday’s game, however, as the Knicks have only turned the ball over 10.3 times per game over their last three.

What you need to know about the Raptors

Toronto skirted by the Houston Rockets 117-115 this past Friday thanks to a clutch jumper from shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. with four seconds remaining. The victory came about thanks to a strong surge after the first quarter to overcome a 36-20 deficit. It was also another big night for Toronto’s power forward Pascal Siakam, who posted a double-double on 29 points and 12 rebounds in addition to seven dimes.

An area that the Raptors have held an advantage over the Knicks in their past games has been on the glass. Toronto has out-rebounded New York by an average of 46.7 to 42. The Raptors have done a better job of limiting opponents’ rebounding than New York has recently, as others have taken an average of 47 boards on the Raptors over their last three games, compared to 53 rebounds per game New York has given up during that stretch.
