New York at Phoenix

The Suns have not hit their stride yet this season. The offensive numbers are down across the board. The 104-ppg is down by six points, the FG percentage is 45.7%, down from 49%, the three-point shooting is down from 39.95%, to 36.9%, and even the FT shooting is down 5%. Amare Stoudemire is back from injury, but is still getting limited minutes with limited production. Raja Bell went down with a sprained ankle and did not dress for the Suns last game, and likely will be out tonight as well. The Knicks have been their mediocre selves, but they have been within 10 points of every opponent they have seen to date. The Knicks have bounced back well after scoring just 75 points or less in a game, covering six of the last seven. We also have a high-profile long-tested trend that is active here that points to the dog. It hit 67% of the time last season and we will ride the Knicks in this one.
