The Knicks are coming off a 132-105 win over Minnesota on Tuesday so their confidence is probably boosted a little since they lost by 50 to Dallas the game before that. The Raptors won their previous matchup this season 112-104 in New York two weeks ago, so we know this team can thrive in Madison Square Garden. The Raptors spread the scoring around that game as Andrea Bargnani, Chris Bosh, DeMar DeRozan and Jose Calderon all scored between 18 and 24 points.
On the injury front, DeMar DeRozan is listed as "doubtful" for tonight while Eddy Curry continues to miss time due to a pulled pork sandwich.

Probable starting lineups
Toronto: Jarrett Jack, Sonny Weems, Hedo Turkoglu, Chris Bosh, Andrea Bargnani
New York: Chris Duhon, Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Jared Jeffries, David Lee
Five questions
1. Can the Raptors sustain last night's energy through the second game of a back-to-back? They're 1-8 this season when the second of back-to-back games is an away game.
2. Can the Raptors extend their franchise record and score over 100 points for a 12th straight game?
3. Are the Raptors going to let Danilo Gallinari drop three-point bombs all night like he did two weeks ago when he went 5-for-10 against Toronto?
4. Is David Lee going to play like a man possessed to show up the coaches who didn't name him as an All-Star Game reserve?
5. Do you think Lee deserves to play in the All-Star Game? I do.
