Raptors at Knicks NBA Picks – January 28th, 2010: Division rivals Toronto and New York are two of just six NBA teams in action tonight as they clash at Madison Square Garden. The game between the two Atlantic squads is scheduled to tipoff at 7:30pm ET. Raptors at Knicks NBA Picks – January 28th, 2010 at online bookmaker Sportsbook.com have the Knicks listed as a -3.5 against the spread home favorite.
The Toronto Raptors wrapped up a three game home stand last night with a 111-103 win over Eastern Conference rival 
Miami. The victory, which was the third in a row for the Raptors, was highlighted by a 24 point, 18 rebound performance from star forward Chris Bosh. Bosh was one of five Toronto players in double figures as the team connected on 56.8 percent of its field goal attempts.
Unfortunately for the Raptors they will not have the opportunity to extend their win streak to four games within the confines of their own arena. Toronto, which is in second place in the Atlantic Division and seven games behind first place Boston, is 16-6 at home this season. The club has been far less intimidating on the road, where they have put together a miserable 8-16 mark.
New York closes out a five game home stand this evening and the Knicks can finish it on the positive side of the ledger with a win over the Raptors. Mike D'Antoni's squad brought its Madison Square Garden record to a near .500 11-13 on Tuesday night with a 132-105 pasting of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 132 point outburst matched a season high from a January 3rd meeting with the Pacers. New York hit 50 percent of its 93 field goal attempts in the route.
The Knicks, which are 18-26 overall, can gain a little bit of ground on Toronto with a win tonight. New York is presently in third in the division and five games back of the Raptors.
NBA Picks Betting Trend: New York is 8-2 straight up and against the spread in its last 10 games as a home favorite in the month of January.
