The minutes are greater with the Raptors, but Immanuel Quickley says he prepares and approaches the game in a similar way.

He does notice a change in the spotlight size, however.

“It’s not the same as far as the media, the scrutiny, the attention, whatever,” Quickley said. “New York is definitely different in that sense.”

Quickley, who returned to that spotlight for Saturday’s game at MSG (and was swarmed by reporters at Toronto’s shootaround in Manhattan), implied there’s an extra feistiness to the coverage of the Knicks.

“I would say the media is a little bit more on you in New York,” he said. “Y’all are definitely a little bit more … whatever word you want to use.”

Quickley has been playing with the Raptors for about three weeks, with the team going 4-6 after the trade and heading into the Knicks showdown.

Through 3 ¹/₂ seasons in New York, Quickley was largely celebrated as a 25th-overall draft pick who exceeded expectations.

But he struggled in his two postseasons — shooting just 33 percent in 13 games — and failed to come to terms on a contract extension before being traded for OG Anunoby.

“Business of basketball,” Quickley said. “The Knicks made a decision. And not really much you can do about it. Expecting to play a basketball game [that night against the Pacers], and didn’t.”

Quickley — who averaged career highs in minutes (31.4), points (18), assists (5.2) and rebounds (4.8) in the first 10 games since the trade — said he still keeps in contact with members of his former franchise, including Knicks associate head coach Johnnie Bryant and power forward Julius Randle. “Those are my guys,” he said.

“It was nothing but love when I was there,” Quickley added. “I feel almost like part of my childhood is gone.”

There are at least two familiar faces on Toronto’s roster: RJ Barrett and Gary Trent Jr., who played with Quickley on the Team USA U-16 championship squad at the 2015 FIBA Americas tournament.

Trent explained to The Post how the Knicks and Raptors fans differ, and it’s not the way you might expect.

“It’s a different type of crowd. When you go to the Garden, sometimes it’s fans, but they’ll be a lot of business people and a lot of corporate and a lot of that type of stuff going on, too,” Trent said. “Here, it’s just solely straight Canadian basketball and the Raptors. It’s a different feel. Don’t get me wrong, MSG is a great arena, still second to none.”

No matter the intensity of the crowd or the media attention moving forward for Quickley, the 24-year-old said he’s prepared after playing in Kentucky and NYC.

In other words, the New York media toughened him up.

“The biggest media market in college basketball, and then going to the New York Knicks, probably one of the biggest media markets in sports, period, probably top-five in sports,” he said. “It has prepared me I think, given me a thick skin, really tough mentally, and as an athlete that’s probably one of the biggest things, your mental preparation and mental strength. It’s a lot more than just the physical when you get to the pro level.”
