After two challenging games on the road, the New York Knicks are back at Madison Square Garden to host the Raptors. Toronto has lost three straight games, including a loss to New York on Dec. 1.

The Knicks beat the Raptors, 119-106, in Canada. Jalen Brunson led New York with 22 points, and Donte DiVincenzo had 21 points (7-of-10 from three) off the bench. DiVincenzo replaced Quentin Grimes in the starting lineup in the Knicks' loss to the Celtics on Friday. He could be in for another big game against Toronto.

New York will already be without one starter on Monday, and the team could also be without Brunson. He injured his ankle late in the game against the Celtics and limped off the court to the locker room.

Brunson was recognized at halftime of Villanova's game against UCLA on Saturday, and he didn't seem to be in any pain when he walked out on the court.

Considering how his ankle injury initially looked, it's a great sign he practiced on Sunday.
