Injury Report and Preview

Jalen Brunson is expected to return for the New York Knicks after missing a couple of games due to a hip contusion. Sports Illustratedreports that he practiced fully yesterday. The Raptors’ starting center,пі Pascal Siakam, has missed the last four games with a disrupted hamstring but could potentially return tonight.

Three Things to Watch

• Raptors’ 4-Game Win Streak: Toronto is riding high on a four-game winning streak, FanDuel notes. Can they keep it going against a tough Knicks team?
• Free Throw Defense: “After reviewing the tape, we have to do a better job of contesting free throws late,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau recent admitted. Via: 247Sports, the Knicks’ lack of free throw defense is alarming.”
• RJ Barrett vs OG Anunoby: Two of the league’s best two-way wings will go head-to-head. betmgm.com suggests looking at props bets on Barrett (points/assists/rebounds) and Anunoby (points/blocks).
