The Phoenix Suns will be hosting New York Knicks in order to try and get out of the current NBA losing streak. The Suns appear in this match at position 6 of the Western Conference while the visiting team is at position 4 of the Eastern Conference. But read on for our prediction of this match.
The Suns are struggling to perform to expectation and they have to get themselves together. They have been defeated in their last four matches. But before this they won 7 matches in a row and have lost only a single match so far. They are now 9-6 and have now lost the last two games on their own ground.
As is often the case when a team is faced with the outcome of having both their Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal not available for play, the Phoenix Suns were defeated by the Magic, 109-99. This was the second match in this bad streak that Oklahoma City was limited to less than one hundred points.
The Knicks on their part are coming into this match in splendid form. They have played five of their last games and have emerged as winners in four of them and have a three-match winning streak. Tom Thibodeau’s men concluded their six-game losing streak with a 134-106 massacre of the Wizards.
They have now won eight of 14 games and have done so averaging 116.9 points, which ranks seventh in the league in scoring. But through injuries, Precious Achiuwa, Mitchell Robinson, and Miles McBride are out.
The Knicks are coming off the heels of a blowout victory against the Washington Wizards where they won 134-106. Well they have now registered three consecutive wins including the two in succession against the Brooklyn Nets and are now above .500 once again. Currently, the Knicks are considered to be 8-6 ranked 4th in the Eastern Conference ranked 4th with 6.5 games behind the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are 12-0. This they meet the Suns who will be without the services of Kevin Durant.
Since joining the Knicks just before the season began, Karl-Anthony Towns has been a great asset. Despite missing one game, he has averaged 26.2 points (10th in the NBA), 12.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game in his 13 games played. In addition, his shooting percentage of 54.4% is high. The Knicks' chances of winning increase with Towns' performance.
The addition of Towns relieves Jalen Brunson of a great deal of pressure. Now that the squad is deep and prepared to compete, Brunson doesn't have to try to carry them. Brunson continues to lead the team in scoring (24.4 points per game) and assists (7.1).
The Suns are now going through a difficult time. They have only won one of their last six games, including four straight losses, after beginning the season 8-1. Last time out, the Orlando Magic, who have won six in a row, defeated Phoenix 109-99.
The Suns have now lost two of their last three games without scoring 100 points. It's interesting to note that the Suns won't play again until the 26th, when they play the Los Angeles Lakers in an NBA Cup match, following this game versus New York. They might benefit from that rest.
