Raptors Look to End Skid in Grudge Match vs. Knicks: Where to Watch, Injury Reports & More

The Toronto Raptors will try to end a three-game skid against the New York Knicks: Where to watch, injury reports, and more

The Toronto Raptors will once again face off in a grudge match Monday night when they head to New York to take on James Dolans' New York Knicks at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Where to Watch

TSN and TSN 1050 will air the game in Toronto. MSG and ESPN NY 98.7 will call the game for New York.

What to Watch For

• The Raptors are desperately looking to snap a three-game skid and a middling Knicks team should provide at least some hope. If Toronto has any chance of turning its season around, the Raptors are going to have to start beating some of these mid-Eastern Conference teams destined for a spot in the play-in tournament.
• Toronto's defense has slipped to an alarming level over the past couple of weeks. The team ranks 20th in Defensive Rating over its last 15 games and that's not going to be good enough for a team that came into the season with hopes of being a defensive juggernaut. The Raptors have to pay better attention to the little things or it's going to be another alarming night.
• It looks like Gradey Dick will be back with the Raptors on this trip and it's possible he sees some playing time after a strong stint with the Raptors 905. It wasn't a pretty start to the season for the rookie shooter, but hopefully, Dick has turned it around and can come back up firing from three-point range.

Injury Reports

Toronto will be without Otto Porter Jr. and Christian Koloko.

The Knicks have listed Jalen Bruson as questionable with a left ankle sprain. Mitchell Robinson is out.

Game Odds

The Raptors are +4 point underdogs with an implied win probability of 40.3%. The total for the game is 221.5.
