Command Analysis

New York Knicks

Current form
What can I say — the New York Knicks right now resembles a well-wound-up basketball mechanism that is gaining a winning move without unnecessary noise and dust. In the last five meetings, the guys from the Big Apple have scored four wins — solidly, solidly.
In the last game, on April 3, Tom Thibodeau's team went to Atlanta and left the local hawks with nothing — 121-105. Yes, the ending let us down a bit — the hosts still won the fourth 12 minutes with a difference of 12 points. But does it really matter when the first three quarters are your personal exhibition of basketball skills?
The main character of the meeting is Karl-Anthony Towns. He scored 30 points, 11 rebounds and three assists. He played like an adult. They also helped him a lot: Oji Anunobi made a great shift with 24 points, Mikal Bridges added his confident 20, and Landry Chamet scored 12. Special praise to Josh Hart — he was one step away from a triple-double: 16 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists.
The Knicks feel great in the East standings — third place (49 wins and 28 losses) and already guaranteed participation in the playoffs. Beauty!
Disqualifications and injuries
The good news for Knicks fans is that Jaylen Brunson, who missed the game against Atlanta due to ankle problems, is ready to return to action and play in the next match against Phoenix. But Miles McBride remains in the infirmary for now.
Interesting facts for betting
New York's average performance in matches against Phoenix is 110 points (for the last ten games).
Approximate composition: Cameron Payne, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, Oh Gee Anunobi, Karl-Anthony Towns.

Phoenix Suns

Current form
Phoenix is going through some tough times right now. Five defeats in a row is not the kind of streak that a team aspiring to at least make the playoffs dreams of. In the last meeting, on April 5, without Kevin Durant in the lineup, the Suns capitulated in Boston — 103:123. And we lost all four quarters. The only bright spot in this basketball evening was Devin Booker — 37 points, five rebounds and six assists.
Royce Onil, Oso Igodaro and Tyas Jones added 12 points each. But against the backdrop of mighty Boston, this was clearly not enough. In the Western Conference table, Phoenix has a shaky 11th place (36 wins and 42 losses). There are still chances for a play-in, but we urgently need to get involved.
Disqualifications and injuriesThe Suns' main loss is Kevin Durant. The striker continues to recover from an ankle injury and is not scheduled to play in the match against New York.
Interesting facts for betting
Phoenix's average performance in matches against New York is 111 points (in the last ten games).

1.87Tip and bets
If we compare the current form of the teams, then New York has a clear advantage. Stability, working chemistry in the squad and the return of Brunson make the hosts of the meeting favorites. But Phoenix, on the contrary, is lost. Without Durant, Booker has all the attacking power, and that may not be enough to defeat the Knicks' well-organized defense.
Our prediction is that New York will win with a handicap of (-5.5) points in 1.72
Bet on the first half
Matches between these teams rarely turn into closed chess games. And the current lineups of the Knicks and Suns are a story about attack, about threes, about fast transitions. In the last ten meetings, New York has averaged 110 points against Phoenix, and the Suns have responded with 111 points.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 230.5 points, including overtime in 2.05
Bet on the first half
There is a feeling that both teams will want to kick off the meeting. Knicks — to quickly dot the I's in front of their stands. Sanz — because they simply have nowhere to retreat, the fight for the play-in is burning red.
Our betting tip is for New York to win in the first half in 1.35
