Result:
WIN

First place Toronto is playing some defense, holding Indiana to 41% shooting and 94 points the last game, a win and cover. The UNDER is 5-2 for the Raptors following a spread cover. They face a New York team that can't shoot, 27th in the NBA in scoring and 18th in field goal shooting. Carmelo Anthony still isn't at 100 percent after sitting out Wednesday's loss at San Antonio because of a sore left knee. New York also lost Iman Shumpert in the second quarter Friday due to a dislocated left shoulder. J.R. Smith, the Knicks' third-leading scorer at 10.3 points per game, didn't play due to a sore left heel. An MRI showed a small partial tear of the plantar fascia, and he is questionable for Sunday's game. New York is on a 5-1 run UNDER the total at home and 5-1 UNDER against the Eastern Conference. It's hard to see them wanting to run with their depth issues, and when these teams meet the UNDER is 5-1 in the last six meetings in New York. Play Toronto/New York Knicks UNDER the total.
