New York Knicks vs. Phoenix Suns Prediction
New York begins this matchup with a record of 8-6 as the season has been up and down thus far for the Knicks.
New York knows they can compete for a Championship this season and was aggressive in the offseason to try and take the next step from contender to favorite. New York added sharpshooting big man Karl-Anthony Towns and all-NBA defender Mikal Bridges.
However, the returns to this point in the season have been not great. Still, a win tonight would improve their season-best win streak to four.
Karl-Anthony Towns leads the squad with 26.2 points and 12.4 rebounds per game. Jalen Brunson has averaged 24.4 points per game and a team-leading 7.1 assists. OG Anunoby has added 17.4 points per game and 5.4 rebounds.
New York has averaged 116.9 points per game.

Phoenix has been amongst the best regular-season teams in the West the last few years and has reached the postseason in four straight seasons. This Suns team is headed toward their fifth consecutive playoff appearance.
In 2021, the Suns reached the NBA Finals but lost a thrilling series against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Phoenix will attempt to snap a. four-game losing streak tonight.
Kevin Durant leads the team with 27.6 points per game. Durant will miss the next couple of weeks with a left calf strain injury. Devin Booker has averaged 23.5 points per game and 6.5 assists, ranking 17th in the NBA. Veteran Bradley Beal has added 17.8 points per game. Beal will miss tonight's game with a calf injury.
