Saturday will see an inter-conference showdown between two struggling teams that need to turn things around. Both are coming off of losses and have struggled all year, but somebody has to win this one.
The Suns have lost four of their last five games dating back to January 8th. They fell 118-103 in Cleveland on Thursday that was never even a contest but did snatch a surprising 108-105 victory against the Spurs last Saturday. Phoenix is currently only one spot out of last place in the Western Conference.
The Knicks have been even more of a disappointment lately, losing three of their last four and six of the last eight. They lost 113-110 to the Wizards at home on Thursday but won 117-106 at Boston the night before.

At 19-25, New York is in 11th place in the East.
Phoenix Suns
Not much was expected out of Phoenix this year, and they have lived up to that. They have been one of the league’s worst defenses all year and unable to stop anyone from putting loads of points up.
The Suns have lost two in a row coming into this game. Unsurprisingly, the Cleveland Cavaliers handled them easily on Thursday, and they fell 106-101 to the Utah Jazz on Monday. Aside from the win against the Spurs last week, January has not been good for Phoenix.

Phoenix currently ranks 12th in the NBA in scoring with 105.8 points per game. They rank 7th in rebounding with 45 but dead last in assists with only 18.3 per contest. Defense has been a nightmare for Phoenix, as they allow 111.8 points per game which is 29th in the league.
Devin Booker and Eric Bledsoe are tied for the team lead in scoring with 20.4 points per game. Bledsoe also contributes 6 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals a night. Tyson Chandler does not score much, but he does grab 12.2 rebounds a game.
New York Knicks
It seems like everyone in Manhattan is still scrambling to figure out what exactly went wrong with the Knicks this year. Early on, they seemed like a sure-fire playoff team in the East and one that could sneak up on the Cavaliers and Raptors.
Then things fell apart a little over a month ago, and they are no longer even close to playoff contention. We know that they still have talent and potential, as shown in Wednesday’s 117-106 win over the Celtics in Boston, but then they follow it with a horrible 113-110 loss to Washington the next day.

Defense continues to be the major problem for the Knicks as they allow 108.3 points per game, ranking 25th in the league.
Carmelo Anthony leads the Knicks with 22.3 points and 6 rebounds per game. Kristaps Porzingis adds 19.3 points and 7.4 boards a night. When he is actually on the team, Derrick Rose contributes very well with 17.9 points, 4.4 assists and 4 rebounds per contest.

Free Phoenix Suns vs. New York Knicks NBA Prediction:
With all that being said, the Knicks are the better team. They also play better at home and have been good against the mid to bottom level teams of the Western Conference. However, New York has been one of the most unpredictable teams in the NBA this year.
