Phoenix Suns Season So far
The Phoenix Suns, this season have a much better lineup than the previous season. Chris Paul and Ayton have been retained, and the addition of JaVale McGee has provided them with depth in the squad. Paul is all NBA leader in assists while Devon Booker is leading in points per game for the team.
2018 1st pick Deandre Ayton has shown steady growth with the Suns as he now has a great playmaker in Chris Paul with him. Devon Booker has performed well and is still the Suns’ main player.

New York Knicks Season So far
New York Knicks fans will be pleased with the team’s performances so far. Julius Randell has been in dazzling form since joining the Knicks. He leads the team in points (20.4), assists (5.1), and rebounds (10.3) per game. The experience of Derrick Rose and Kemba Walker has been very important for the team. Rose has some great productions on-court, carrying the team through tough situations.
Coach Tom Thibodeau will be looking for more efforts from RJ Barret and Evan Fournier as sometimes the Knicks’ offence becomes predictable. The addition of Rose and Walker has given some options to the Knicks coach, but their shooting efficiency is just above 40%.

Phoenix Suns vs New York Knicks Match Prediction
The Phoenix Suns are on maybe the greatest run since their NBA Finals performance the previous season. The Suns have won 14 in a row, beating some of their opponents in the process. The Knicks have no such big stretch run but have managed to come up big when their playoff spot is in doubt.
The Suns are averaging 112.3 points per game this season while allowing 3 fewer points than last season. New York is struggling a bit defensively, allowing 106.3 points per game and managing an average of 107.2 points this season.
The Suns’ depth might be a big challenge for the contender teams this season and might prove too strong for the Knicks in the upcoming fixture also. Phoenix will win and extend their run to 15-0.
