Suns Spotlight

The Phoenix Suns continued to be the hottest team in the NBA, reeling off their 14th straight victory, this time against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Offensively on the road, the Suns have been one of the best ranking 2nd in points per game, 3rd in field goal percentage, and 6th in 3-point shooting. Defensively on the road the Suns have been solid where they rank 11th in points allowed, 9th in field goal percentage, 6th in 3-point shooting, and 25th in rebounding. 


Knicks Spotlight

The New York Knicks got back into the win column in their last game, where they took out the Los Angeles Lakers at home, while covering the 4.5-point spread in the process. It hasn’t been pretty for the Knick’s offense at home where they rank 18th in points per game, 22nd in field goal percentage, and 6th in 3-point shooting. Then on the defensive side at home they rank 21st in points allowed, 6th in field goal percentage, 15th in 3-point shooting, and 30th in rebounding.


Final Say

Phoenix has been owning this series winning and covering in six-straight against New York, while they’ve gone 9-2 ATS in their last 11 trips to the Garden. The Knicks haven’t been playing great basketball lately going just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games, but they’ve fared well against the West, going 5-1 SU in their last six against a Western Conference opponent, while going 5-2 ATS in their last seven against a Pacific Division opponent. The Suns are 1-5 ATS in their last six games, playing under expectations, while this will be their third-straight road game. The Knicks just had their best field goal percentage against the Lakers since seven games ago for them, so I like them to carry that into their second-straight home game. Suns are due for a loss here, so grab the free points.


Pick: New York Knicks +3.5
