Smart Game Analysis
New York Knicks has a 64% chance of winning the game
The Knicks' dominant 16-4 home record and rebounding advantage favor them against a Suns team struggling with injuries to key scorers like Jalen Green.
Key Analysis
- • Jalen Brunson is questionable with an ankle injury, and his absence would severely hamper an offense that struggled in recent losses.
- • Karl-Anthony Towns averages 11.5 rebounds per game and holds a distinct size advantage over the Suns' interior defense.
- • New York's defense has regressed recently, allowing an average of 119.6 points per game over their last ten contests.
- • The Knicks have been nearly unbeatable at Madison Square Garden with a 16-4 record, while the Suns are just 10-12 on the road.
- • New York ranks 4th in the league for three-pointers made with 15.1 per game, creating a significant perimeter scoring edge.
- • Phoenix needs Dillon Brooks to replicate his recent 27-point performance if Devin Booker is limited or ruled out.
