After the victories against the Bucks and Cavs, the New York Knicks are preparing for Thursday’s game against the Raptors. Tom Thibodeau, however, will have to deal with important absences.

There will be no Frank Ntilikina (sprained right knee) and Dennis Smith Jr. (left quad). In addition, Obi Toppin will also be missing for his right calf problem, and Omari Spellman with an injured right knee.

On the other hand, Immanuel Quickley, absent against the Cavs,, Alec Burks, who has a sprained left knee, Austin Rivers, out for a stomachache, and Kevin Knox, who will probably play even if he has a sore knee, are questionable.
