KAT is averaging 25.5 points per game but also is questionable in terms of missing a second straight game due to a knee issue. So maybe this voids anyways. Or maybe he plays and has to leave early. Or the Knicks get out to a huge lead and Tom Thibodeau pulls KAT even though Thibs is allergic to pulling his starters unless they have played 42 minutes and are bleeding from multiple orifices. Our model has Towns are 22.5 points. NumberFire has him the same.

RJ Barrett is averaging 5.8 three-point attempts per game this season, which is up from 4.3 attempts per game last season. He is shooting 34.4% from deep, so his added attempts have helped him make at least two three-pointers in seven of his last 10 games. The Knicks rank 20th in three-point shooting percentage allowed, so the over is the way to go here with Barrett.

A response should be coming tonight from the Knicks after getting humbled by the Pistons on Saturday. We'll see about Karl-Anthony Towns and his status after he missed the Detroit game with knee tendinitis; he might be a game-time decision for Tom Thibodeau tonight. Regardless, it wasn't as much no-KAT as it was the Pistons hitting an uncommon 18 of 36 triples on Saturday. Not to sound too snarky, but let's see the Raptors shoot their triples so well on Monday night. Toronto is better at home (6-6) than away (one win!), but note NY hasn't lost back-to-back since Nov. 4-6. Play Knicks
