How to watch Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks NBA Cup West Quarterfinal game: Tip-off time, cable channels, RSNs, livestream providers, international coverage

Toronto Raptors host New York Knicks in NBA Cup action later today and GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

This emotionally charged showdown is the first high-stakes elimination game between the two franchises since the blockbuster trade that sent OG Anunoby to New York in exchange for RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, adding a thick layer of drama to an already intense rivalry. The Raptors, who clinched the top seed in Group A, earned home-court advantage for this knockout round and will be looking to leverage a playoff-like atmosphere to snap a recent three-game losing streak.

The Knicks, meanwhile, enter as the Wild Card, riding a wave of momentum. Statistically, the teams are closely matched, with New York holding a slight edge in scoring and rebounding, while Toronto boasts a higher assist rate, setting the stage for a battle of contrasting styles. The game is packed with compelling subplots, none bigger than the "Trade Bowl" itself. The wing matchup will be critical, as RJ Barrett, playing with a point to prove against his former team, will likely face off against the elite defensive prowess of his old teammate, OG Anunoby.

Anunoby's primary assignment, however, may be to contain Brandon Ingram, who has been Toronto's offensive engine. If Anunoby succeeds, the scoring burden will shift to Barrett and Scottie Barnes to generate offense against a notoriously tough Tom Thibodeau-coached defense.

Another key duel will be in the backcourt, where Immanuel Quickley goes up against his former mentor, Jalen Brunson. For the Raptors to succeed, Quickley must not only manage the offense efficiently but also challenge Brunson on the defensive end and push the pace. In the frontcourt, Scottie Barnes, recently named Defensive Player of the Month, will be pivotal. His ability to roam and provide help defense will be tested by the Knicks' offensive schemes, while Jakob Poeltl will be tasked with battling inside. Historically, the Knicks have had the upper hand, winning their last five meetings against the Raptors, a trend Toronto will be desperate to reverse on their home floor.
