The New York Knicks are gearing up for a matchup against the Toronto Raptors, but they may be without key players Karl-Anthony Towns and Cam Payne due to injuries. Both players missed the previous game against the Detroit Pistons, which the Knicks lost.

With a crucial NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Atlanta Hawks approaching, the Knicks might prioritize health over immediate game needs. Meanwhile, the Raptors will also be missing Bruce Brown, D.J. Carton, and Immanuel Quickley.
