The Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks have been on opposite ends of the spectrum in the Eastern Conference standings this season, however, it’s been a different story at the betting window when these teams collide. The Raptors are a paltry 1-7 ATS in their last eight clashes with their division rivals, but will be looking to improve on that mark Monday at Madison Square Garden.

- The total has gone OVER in four of the Raptors' last five games against the Knicks.
- The Knicks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games after an ATS win.
Betting on the Knicks is a scary thought right now though, as New York is 1-7 SU and 1-6-1 ATS in their previous eight heading into this one. The Knickerbockers opened as 4-point home dogs for the affair at most sportsbooks.
