The stuttering New York Knicks welcome the Phoenix Suns in their next NBA fixture, seeking to return to winning ways. They enter this game with the third-best record in the Eastern Conference, whereas the Suns have the seventh-best in the West. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Knicks are in a rut and are going through their worst run of results this season. Mike Brown’s men have won just two of their last nine outings and are on a two-game skid.
This run has seen them lose their grip on second spot in the East and drop to 5.0 games behind top spot. The Knicks, who have a 25-16 record, lost 126-113 away to the Warriors last time out. Jalen Brunson missed the game and is listed as doubtful against the Suns.
The Suns are also seeking to end a run of two successive losses. Jordan Ott’s men are having a poor start to a five-game road trip in the East.
They started the away schedule with a 127-121 loss in Miami and then went on to lose 108-105 in Detroit. The Suns, who had lost just twice over an 11-game run before this latest skid, are now 24-17.
Devin Booker is dealing with an ankle issue and is listed as doubtful for this game.
