In contrast to last year's 29.1 mark, Quentin Grimes's playing time has risen this year to 26.3 minutes per game.The matchup vs. Toronto is a favorable one for three-pointers; when the Toronto Raptors are away from home, the opposing team's starting SGs have averaged the 29th-most shots from behind the three-point arc per game in the league this year (3.4).The Knicks have been the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide new chances for scoring and assists).This year when they are the visiting squad, their opposition has snagged 9.8 offensive rebounds per game (5th-lowest in the league) against the Raptors (lessening possessions that could otherwise spark further chances for offense).
