Command Analysis
Toronto Raptors
How hard it is for reptiles to win without Kawhi Leonard. The star rookie returned to his native harbor and immediately declared himself, but another knee injury and the striker is back in the infirmary. Darko Rajakovic is trying his best to keep the club afloat, but so far he has failed.
Toronto lost three matches in a row, because it was weaker than Memphis (102:118), Boston (93:98) and Philadelphia (112:123). We can say that we were unlucky with our rivals. Despite this, the Canadians performed well against the Sixers, even leading the score, but they couldn't keep up with the fast pace. It seems that only the return of Scotty Barnes and Kawhi Leonard to the parquet can change the situation for the better. For the Raptors, the series of tough confrontations does not end, as the next game is against New York.
New York Knicks
The Knicks' style of play hasn't changed at all, and that's probably what prevented them from starting the season more vividly. The team has six wins and six losses on its balance sheet, meaning Mike Brown's team continues to look for a solution that would improve the situation. The only thing that pleases is the defense, which is the trump card of the team.
New York faced Indiana in the last meeting, but luck was on the opponent's side this evening (104:106). Karl-Anthony Towns had an opportunity to equalize in the last seconds, but he missed, and the final siren sounded. Of course, there's still more than enough time to consolidate our positions, but for now, the New York club is sixth in the Eastern Conference. For New York, the task is to defend the title, although it seems that it will be much harder to do this than becoming champion last season.
Toronto, without its leaders, looks toothless in attack, so we have to rely on defense. The Raptors were not particularly lucky with the calendar of games, because for the fourth match in a row they will have to play against a top league opponent. New York is acting in its own style - on the defensive. The Knicks haven't been very stable lately, so we expect both sides to play with an emphasis on results rather than spectacle. In this case, we suggest betting on the total less.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 218.5 points for 1.77
