New York Knicks vs Phoenix Suns Prediction, Odds and Picks for Wednesday, 11/20/24

The New York Knicks embark on a 5-game road trip starting Wednesday night when they travel to Phoenix to take on the Suns at the Footprint Center. The Knicks are riding a 3-game winning streak and have won 4 of their last 5 games, including their most recent 28-point win over the Washington Wizards on Monday night. Meanwhile, the Suns play their second game of a 6-game homestand and hope to quickly change their current trajectory. Phoenix has dropped 4 consecutive games and 5 of their last 6, large in part due to injuries to both Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. Durant has missed 6 straight games with a left calf injury, while Beal has been absent in Phoenix’ last 4 contests with the same injury.

With a banged-up Suns’ lineup, the Knicks are favored by 5 points ahead of Wednesday’s game and should have an increased level of confidence with the way they’ve been playing. New York ranks 3rd in offensive rating and Karl-Anthony Towns has logged double-doubles in 11 of his past 12 games with his new team. This should be a great opportunity for Towns to continue to play at a high level considering the Suns rank 19th in defensive rating. On top of the defensive struggles for the Suns, their offensive production has significantly dwindled with the absence of Durant and Beal. Phoenix is averaging just 106.8 ppg over their last 6 games as compared to the 114.4 ppg they averaged over their first 9 games with Durant in the lineup. I’ll lay the points with the visiting Knicks up against a depleted Phoenix lineup.
