Game day: Knicks at Raptors

AIR CANADA CENTRE TIPOFF: 7:30 p.m. TV: TSN RADIO: Sportsnet 590 The FAN PROBABLE STARTERS New York: Derrick Rose, Courtney Lee, Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis, Joakim Noah Toronto: Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, DeMarre Carroll, Pascal Siakam, Jakob Poeltl KEY MATCHUP Anthony vs. Carroll This is the kind of matchup the Raptors had in mind for Carroll when they signed him in the summer of 2105. Anthony has some offensive help in Porzingis and Rose, but keeping him under control is vital to beating New York. NEED TO KNOW Both teams are finishing back-tobacks. The Knicks were in Boston on Friday, with Toronto in Charlotte. . . . Injured Raptors Jonas Valanciunas (knee) and Terrence Ross (finger) returned Friday in Charlotte, but coach Dwane Casey wouldn’t commit to each playing in the second game of a back-to-back. . . . It’s the first Huskies night of the Raptors’ season, with throwback jerseys and a new court. UP NEXT Tuesday at Cleveland, 7 p.m. Doug Smith
