New York at Phoenix

The New York Knicks looked to be a team to reckon with this season. They had a big year last year, one they had hoped to build off of for this season. A slow start, and a team that never seemed to get on track has held them back. The good news is that the Eastern Conference is laden with mediocre teams, and the Knicks are just 1.5 games out of the #8 playoffs spot. The Knicks have done so by going 9-2 over their last 11 games, playing like they did a year ago. Phoenix is just 10-8 in their last 18 games despite a recent winning streak. The Knicks have fared well with their recent play with a 6-2 ATS mark in their last eight vs. the West, failing to cover just one of the last five here. This line doesn't fit, so take the points on New York.
