Knicks vs. Raptors line, picks: Advanced computer NBA model releases selections for Sunday matchup

SportsLine's projection model generated selections for Sunday's matchup between the New York Knicks and the Toronto Raptors

The New York Knicks and the Toronto Raptors face off in a matinee battle at 3:30 p.m. ET on Sunday. Toronto is favored by eight points at Caesars Sportsbook, while the Over-Under is set at 206.5 (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our NBA odds page). Before making any Knicks vs. Raptors picks, you NEED to check out the NBA predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NBA game 10,000 times and has returned well over $10,000 in profit on its top-rated NBA picks over the past three-plus seasons. The model enters Week 11 of the 2021-22 NBA season on a stunning 48-24 roll on all top-rated NBA picks, returning almost $2,000. Anyone following it has seen HUGE returns.

The model knows the Knicks have tangible strengths on defense. New York is No. 3 in the NBA in field goal percentage allowed (43.7 percent) and No. 2 in the league in two-point percentage allowed (50.3 percent). Opponents are producing only 19.9 free throw attempts per game against New York, and the Knicks are giving up only 12.3 second-chance points per game. The Knicks also wall off the rim, giving up only 41.9 points per game in the paint, and New York averages 5.3 blocks per contest.

The model also knows the Raptors put pressure on opponents with offensive aggression. Toronto is averaging 109.9 points per 100 possessions on offense this season, landing above the NBA's average baseline. The Raptors are No. 2 in offensive rebound rate, securing 32 percent of available missed shots, and Toronto is also No. 2 in second-chance points with 16.0 per game. Toronto also takes care of the ball effectively, committing only 12.5 turnovers per game. The Raptors are No. 3 in the NBA in fast break points, averaging 16.0 per game, and New York's transition defense will be tested.

Now, it has set its sights on Knicks vs. Raptors. We can tell you the model is leaning under the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits in well over 60 percent of simulations! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any NBA picks.
