Season series: First meeting; Tied 1-1 last season

The Suns are scorching hot, winners of 6 in a row after taming the Memphis Grizzlies 110-89 Friday. G Devin Booker led the way with 40 as F Kevin Durant and G Bradley Beal sat out. The star trio has yet to play a game together in the regular season.

Suns at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 112, Knicks 110

Moneyline

The Knicks beat a Bookerless Suns squad 102-83 last season, but Phoenix won the previous 9 matchups. It's strange to see the Suns as slight dogs, which may speak to Durant's status. He loves playing at the Garden, though, so I'm not as doom-and-gloom on his foot ailment. The Suns are 6-2 on the road this season, and I like the value here.

Take the SUNS +135.

Against the spread

I'm going to stick with the moneyline value and PASS on the spread.

Over/Under

The Suns are 11-5 O/U this season while the Knicks are 6-9. The Suns, without Durant, snapped a 5-game Over binge with their 110-89 victory over Memphis last time out. The Knicks have gone Over 2 out of the last 3. Go easy here, but I think it'll remain tight enough to LEAN OVER 219.5 (-110).
