New York Knicks at Phoenix Suns Prediction
The Knicks are playing with a hot hand and do not look like the Knicks that were kicked around the NBA for previous few seasons. This franchise has adopted a new attitude and it is seen in the cohesion and fusion of their acquisitions. As a result of their chemistry improving, the Knicks have put together some impressive wins on their resume.
The Suns while they are a better team than the record suggests, stand at 7-17 because their defense can’t finish games. Phoenix can score as good as any team but they can also give up plenty of points. Nevertheless, the Knicks have had plenty of woes on the road. In fact, 60% of their losses came away from The Big Apple. Even with the Suns going 3-7 in their last ten, the market recognizes how close the Suns came to getting a win most recently against New Orleans where they fell by a point in OT. In fact this has been a common motif for the Suns this season…hanging around long enough but failing finish, especially in overtime. Nevertheless, the stock for New York is likely at a new height here and with that being said they are more prone to being overvalued in light of their recent successes. Look for the Suns to challenge the Knicks.
