The Phoenix Suns will welcome the New York Knicks to the Mortgage Matchup Center in an NBA Cross-conference clash. The Suns are in seventh place in the Western Conference standings, while the Knicks are in second place in the Eastern Conference. Here's our match prediction. 

The Phoenix Suns come into this match aiming to record their second consecutive NBA win. In their recent match, they beat the Memphis Grizzlies 117-98 on the road.

Grayson Allen was the standout player in that match, leading the team with a game-high 19 points. 

The Suns' form has been consistent with three wins in their last four matches. In fact, they've won seven of their previous nine games and are riding a four-match winning streak at home. 

It has been a demanding stretch for the New York Knicks, who have managed just one win since the turn of the year. 

That lone victory was recent as they beat the Los Angeles Clippers 123-111 at home to end a four-match losing streak. Jalen Brunson was the man of the moment as he led the team with a game-high 26 points and dished out seven assists. 

The Knicks are on the road, and their primary objective is to end a two-game losing skid. Their 121-90 defeat to the Pistons marked the first time in 17 games they failed to reach the 100-point mark.
