We won going against the Suns on Sunday at Brooklyn, and while they are certainly capable of ending the Knicks' nine-game winning streak, we like New York because Phoenix is in the second of a back-to-back and at the end of a very tough five-game road trip through the Eastern Conference. The Suns also are without two key rotation guys in Jae Crowder and Dario Saric, while New York is healthy. With the rest advantage this year, the Knicks are 12-3-1 ATS.

The Suns are 7-0 ATS (+8.00 ppg) as favorites after a loss in which Devin Booker had a negative plus/minus and 6-0 ATS (13.00 ppg) following a road loss in which Deandre Ayton had a double-double. As a team, Phoenix is 10-0 ATS (+8.35 ppg) with no rest after a road loss in which it led by double digits. The Knicks are 0-8 ATS (-14.50 ppg) with rest following a home contest when they are coming off two games in which they shot better than 50 percent from 3-point range and 0-6 ATS (-9.75 ppg) when the line is within three of pick'em after a double-digit win when they lost two straight against the current opponent. Chris Paul’s veteran leadership should be the deciding factor.
