Suns vs. Knicks Prediction and Odds: Back the Under in New York

The Phoenix Suns haven’t lost a game since Oct. 27, winning 14 straight, as they head into a matchup with the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. 

The Knicks are a little banged up heading into this game, as Derrick Rose, Mitchell Robinson and Taj Gibson are all questionable for Friday’s matchup. New York is 10-8 on the season, but it has struggled after a strong start to the season. 

Here are the odds for this game via WynnBET:

Suns vs. Knicks Prediction and Pick

The Knicks have gotten back to playing the elite defense that helped them get the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference last season, but the team’s offense has fallen off after a strong start to the year. 

New York is just 13th in the league in offensive rating after hovering around and in the top five for the first few weeks of the year. Phoenix (third in defensive rating) is going to be a tough test for the Knicks, who actually have been worse at Madison Square Garden (5-5, 4-6 ATS) than on the road this season. 

These two teams are about as opposite as they come in terms of tempo, with the Suns playing at the No. 4 pace in the NBA while New York plays much slower, coming in at No. 25. 

If the Knicks want to stay in this game, and the spread suggests they will, it’s going to be a low-scoring affair. New York has played eight straight games with a total less than 216.0, and I think that comes true again today against a tough Suns defense. 

Pick: Knicks-Suns UNDER 216.0 (-110)
