Raptors Aim to Wrap Homestand with Victory Over Knicks
The Toronto Raptors are set to face the New York Knicks tonight at Scotiabank Arena, aiming to cap off their five-game homestand on a high note. After a tough 125-118 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday, the Raptors are determined to bounce back. The game will be broadcast live on TSN4/5 and streamed on TSN.ca and the TSN App at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Toronto saw a standout performance from Gradey Dick against Dallas, scoring 27 points—his best since a 32-point showcase against Milwaukee in November's NBA Cup action. Meanwhile, Scottie Barnes continues to impress after his return from an orbital bone fracture, maintaining an all-around game with averages of 21 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 7.8 assists per outing.

The Knicks, currently fourth in the Eastern Conference with a 14-9 record, are also looking to recover from a surprising 120-111 defeat to the Detroit Pistons, which snapped their four-game winning streak. RJ Barrett has been exceptional this season, particularly at Scotiabank Arena, where he’s averaging 27.7 points per game compared to 19.4 on the road. Barrett’s recent dominance reflects his career-best averages in points, rebounds, and assists.
Adding intrigue to tonight’s matchup, former Raptor OG Anunoby returns to Toronto for the first time since his trade to New York last December. Anunoby is thriving in his new role, averaging a career-high 17.7 points alongside 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 23 starts. This trade also brought RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley to Toronto, reshaping both teams’ lineups significantly.
The Knicks have had the upper hand in recent meetings, winning their last four games against the Raptors. Their most dominant showing came in March, with a commanding 145-101 victory. Tonight’s clash offers Toronto a chance to rewrite the narrative and end their homestand with momentum. Fans can expect an intense battle as the Raptors and Knicks vie for critical wins in the Eastern Conference race.
