Alright, let's slice into this bountiful basketball sandwich, shall we?
On one slice of the bread, we've got the New York Knicks, boasting their star players Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson who've been lighting the scoreboard on fire lately. Unfortunately, they're down one piece of their artillery, with Miles McBride laying low due to that pesky injury bug.
Now, on the other side of the sandwich is Phoenix Suns. Lounging at the top, we have Kevin Durant and Devin Booker who've been popping off some impressive digits lately, almost as if they're having a "who's salsa's spicier" contest. Now, it's not all gravy. The Suns are in a bit of a rut with injuries. Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant, well, they've seen better days; both sidelined with injuries.
Looking at history, it's like watching a rerun of a good movie. The Knicks took the last two of three, with the Suns winning only once at the Knicks' home court. In the season, it's a close race with both teams having similar records, although Knicks have been giving their fans a delightful roller coaster ride in their recent matchups.
On the other side of the court transition, the Suns' recent games have been more of a plummeting roller coaster ride giving their fans some heartburn, dropping their last four games like hot potatoes.
To wrap up this sandwich, the Knicks are at a comfortable #4 in the Eastern Conference while the Suns are sweating at #6 in the Western Conference.
This all boils down to which seasoning jazzes up the sandwich better. And my money is on the New York Knicks delivering the mouthwatering flavor tonight.
Albert’s Prediction: New York Knicks by 6
