According to the latest NBA trends, the Knicks are 4-1 against the spread in their last 5 games as a home favorite, 7-2 against the spread in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, 7-2 against the spread in their last 9 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5, 6-2 against the spread in their last 8 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game, and are 38-18 against the spread in their last 56 Tuesday games.

New coach Mike Woodson has breathed some new life into the Knicks. They’ve not only won all three games but covered them all. For whatever reason, Carmelo Anthony was never comfortable playing for Mike D’Antoni. He has put up big numbers but he’s playing team ball and is getting used to playing with Jeremy Lin. Linsanity may have died down the Knicks are coming together to make another playoff push and Toronto is just standing in the way.
