The New York Knicks play an injury-riddled Toronto Raptors team on Wednesday, as we offer our Knicks vs. Raptors NBA player props based on the best NBA odds.
The New York Knicks (43-28) head to Scotiabank Arena to take on a Toronto Raptors (23-49) squad in the middle of an 11-game losing streak. The Raptors will try to end the losing skid at home with tip-off set for 7:30 p.m. ET on MSG.
While the Knicks have been dealing with their own injuries – Julius Randle, OG Anunoby, Mitchell Robinson – it's been nothing compared to what the Raptors have been going through. Once again, Toronto will be without four starters, including All-Star Scottie Barnes, as they take on a playoff-bound New York squad that's won six of its last seven.

Knicks vs. Raptors props
Few players in the NBA have been hotter than Donte DiVincenzo as of late. The 27-year-old is coming off a 40-point performance against the Detroit Pistons and dropped 31 in the game before that against the Brooklyn Nets. He's been lights out from behind the arc, hitting 15 of 33 threes in those last two games (45.4%), and that should continue against a banged up Raptors squad.
The Raptors have one of the NBA's worst defenses, allowing the seventh most points per game (117.8) and have been at their worst against small forwards like DiVincenzo. Toronto gives up the most points per game in the NBA to small forwards (24.02) and the fourth most 3-pointers per game (3.06). With DiVincenzo's game predicated on his 3-point shooting, this is the perfect matchup for him to continue his hot streak.
DiVincenzo is averaging just 14.9 points per game this season, which is why it's no surprise to see his odds to score at least 22 be plus-money. But we love the value here at Betway with the Knicks guard taking on a bigger role lately. A $10 bet on these odds would lead to a $11.50 profit.
When the Raptors are healthy, they struggle to rebound, so being down leading rebounder and starting center Jakob Poeltl will only make it much more difficult. Toronto allows the fifth most rebounds per game to opponents (45.2) and the fourth most offensive rebounds (11.2), and that's why Isaiah Hartenstein is poised to pull in plenty of boards.
Down Robinson and Randle, Hartenstein is the Knicks' top rebounder. He averages 8.5 per game this season, but the 7-footer has had double-digit rebounds in five of his last nine games. With the mismatch he can provide, he should see consistent playing time in this game, too.
The Raptors' injuries have impacted their size. Kelly Olynyk is the only player over 6-foot-8 slated to play in this game, which opens the door for Hartenstein to own the paint. Toronto allows the third-most rebounds per game in the NBA to centers this season (15.96).
Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic is essentially starting a lineup of role players and rookies with the amount of starters Toronto is missing for this game. The lone starter Rajakovic has is shooting guard Gary Trent Jr., who has struggled to carry the load on his own.
Trent Jr. averages 13.1 points per game this season, but his line at Betway is 18.5 because of his expected usage without the other starters in the lineup. However, a bigger role hasn't led to consistent high-scoring games for the 25-year-old. He's had fewer than 19 points in 17 of his last 22 games, and this is a tough Knicks defense.
New York is second in the NBA in points allowed (107.6) and ninth in field goal percentage allowed (46.7%). The -105 odds at Betway imply a 51.22% probability that Trent Jr. finishes Under 18.5 points.
