New York Knicks vs Phoenix-suns Picks and Predictions January 17th 2026

January 17, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NBA

The Phoenix Suns open a three-game homestand spot for the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, and New York’s biggest issue is clear: the defense has to stabilize. The Knicks have dropped seven of their last nine and opponents have been getting comfortable from three, which is a bad mix when you’re also dealing with key availability questions. Phoenix has been steadier than expected this season, but it’s walking into a tough matchup if Devin Booker is limited or out. Booker missed Thursday with an ankle sprain and is listed as questionable for this one. Phoenix has shown a higher floor than most expected, and that’s largely because they’ve competed consistently on both ends even through lineup fluctuation. The
