Toronto has lost three straight and is 5-7, but RJ Barrett gave it something to build on in Philadelphia on Thursday, with 31 points and 14 rebounds in a 123-112 defeat. Scottie Barnes has missed four games in a row with a groin strain, and Kawhi Leonard is still reconditioning his knee.
The Knicks, the defending champions, went into Friday’s game in Indiana at 6-5. They lost 115-107 at home to Cleveland on Wednesday, a night after beating Milwaukee 117-85, and Jalen Brunson scored 27 in the defeat.

Team news
| Club | Player | Status | Latest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto | Kawhi Leonard | Out, knee | Reconditioning his knee; next update in about a week, per Sportsnet (10 Nov) |

Sunday’s league report lists Barnes questionable with a left groin strain, and Leonard and Nate Bittle out. Trayce Jackson-Davis is day to day after an illness kept him out on Wednesday and Thursday. Head coach Darko Rajakovic said on Wednesday that Leonard is doing individual on-court work and progressing well, Sportsnet’s Michael Grange reported, and the club expects to give another update in about a week. Our Kawhi Leonard injury tracker has the full timeline. New York listed nobody on Sunday’s report.

How the Knicks and Raptors compare this season
League rank out of 30 on this season’s box scores (12 and 12 games). Ratings are points per 100 possessions, estimated from the box score.
Through Thursday’s games the Knicks rank fifth in defensive rating and ninth in net rating, at +6.9. Toronto sits 15th at +1.4, and that number includes the eight games Barnes played. Both clubs crash the offensive glass, ranking second and fourth.
Toronto’s guards against New York’s defence decide this. Without Barnes, Barrett and Immanuel Quickley carried the scoring in Philadelphia, with 57 points between them on 21-of-36 shooting, and the Raptors will need that again against a defence holding opponents to the seventh-lowest effective field-goal percentage in the league.
