New York Knicks vs Phoenix Suns Betting Preview
New York opens its Western Conference swing with renewed confidence after snapping a four-game skid. The Knicks closed strong against the Clippers on Wednesday, controlling the second half behind Jalen Brunson and a sharper defensive effort. Mike Brown said the losing streak forced adjustments, and the response showed in ball movement and pace control.
Phoenix enters playing some of its best basketball of the season. The Suns buried a season-high 22 three-pointers in Memphis and have won seven of nine overall. Their offense has leaned into spacing and volume from the perimeter, forcing defenses to choose between paint protection and surrendering clean looks.

Matchup Breakdown
New York’s success hinges on half-court execution. Brunson controls tempo, while Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby give the Knicks multiple scoring options without sacrificing defensive size. Their ability to get to the line limits Phoenix’s transition chances.
Phoenix’s edge is perimeter volume. The Suns attempted a season-high 56 threes Wednesday and punished late rotations. Devin Booker’s willingness to pass out of pressure keeps the offense flowing, and Dillon Brooks provides physical scoring on the wing.
