New York Knicks at Phoenix Suns Preview & Picks

New York are tipped to cover as they take down short-handed Phoenix.

The healthy Knicks have enjoyed some improved form recently, while the Suns have struggled since losing both Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant.

  • New York Knicks are 4-1 in their last 5 games
  • Phoenix Suns are 1-5 in their previous 6 games
  • Phoenix Suns are 5-10-0 ATS this season
  • The Over has cashed in 6 of Phoenix's last 9 games

Head To Head

  • Phoenix Suns lead the all-time series 72-66
  • New York Knicks won 139-122 when the two teams last met in December 2023

New York Knicks Form

New York go into this five-game road trip having won each of their last three games to improve to 8-6.

The Knicks underwhelmed through the first few weeks of the season as they lost six of their first 11 games of the campaign.

However, they have not tasted defeat since they were beaten 124-123 at home by Chicago back on November 13.

New York rebounded from that loss with back-to-back home wins over Brooklyn, beating the Nets 124-122 and 114-104.

The Knicks then made it three wins in a row on Wednesday night, as they ended their run of four home games with a 134-106 demolition of Washington.

Phoenix Suns Form

Phoenix enter this matchup in need of a victory, having now lost each of their last four games to fall to 9-6.

The Suns split their first two games of the season, but hit a hot streak when a 114-102 win at home to Dallas kick-started a seven-game win streak.

That run was halted by a 127-118 overtime defeat at home to Sacramento, and although they rebounded immediately to win 120-112 in Utah, they have not won since.

Phoenix suffered a 127-104 defeat when they visited Sacramento, and that was followed by a 99-83 loss in Oklahoma City and a 120-117 defeat at Minnesota.

The Suns’ losing run then reached four games on Monday night as they returned home to lose 109-99 to Orlando.

Verdict

Phoenix have gone cold since losing Beal and Durant, and now Nurkic could be added to the list of casualties.

This is a good opportunity for in-form New York to win on the road, and we expect them to take it.
