Fred VanVleet recorded a team-high 28 points for the Raptors who improved to 21-27 on the season, while the Knicks fell to 25-23.
Key Players
One of the Raptors' most influential players is Pascal Siakam who is considered one of the best defenders in the NBA having led the team to the 2019 NBA Championship.
While the Knicks will pin their hopes of securing a win in Toronto on RJ Barrett who recorded 30 points, seven rebounds, and five assists the last time the two teams met.
Quotes
"Toronto is definitely different from the other 29 teams, with the first reason being that the team does not represent the city of Toronto, but the entire state of Canada," Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said in a recent interview with Blic.
"All 35,000,000 people who live here are big fans of the team, while in every other market (Los Angeles, Charlotte, New York), only the local team has the city's support.
"Here the whole country stands behind the team, there is a huge media market, so everyone pays great attention to the team and everything that happens around the team."
