The Raptors host the reigning NBA champions without, once again, Kawhi Leonard, who is sidelined with his troublesome knee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Darko Rajakovic’s side have lost their last three games, while Mike Brown’s men have been beaten by Cleveland and Indiana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Raptors are 3-7<\/strong> in their last 10 games, allowing opponents to score 116 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Knicks, for their part, are 6-4<\/strong> with a defence that concedes just 103 points a night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Date:<\/strong> 15 November 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Time<\/strong>: These are the Knicks vs Raptors start times by time zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Venue<\/strong>: Scotiabank Arena, Toronto.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Canadians have two important injury absences, Kawhi and, more recently, his team-mate Scottie Barnes, who has an adductor injury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Knicks have everyone available and, as Mike Brown confirmed, no changes are expected in the starting five. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Based solely on the confirmed absences of Barnes and Kawhi, the Knicks should secure a comfortable win at the very least. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the reigning champions continue to have problems in attack, especially their two starting wings, Mikal and Hart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Inconsistency. That is the path the Knicks have followed so far. Only Brunson and KAT are meeting expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Shamet and McBride have been picking up important minutes at the expense of Bridges. Will they ever be starters? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n For the second game in a row, the Knickerbockers<\/em> will have their full squad available to travel to Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n The Knicks captain could not prevent another embarrassing defeat against the Indiana Pacers, in which they trailed throughout the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Brunson was the standout for his side with 33 points and 11 assists<\/strong>, though it was not enough to secure their first win in the NBA Cup (they are 0-2 so far).<\/p>\n\n\n\nKnicks vs Raptors date and time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
