The Suns don’t back down and just keep the bar high. No matter how hard Golden State tries, however, it is not possible to catch up with the leader of the West, so Monty Williams’ wards and the head coach himself can be given credit for their character and desire to win. Phoenix showed class in the last meeting, when they beat one of the leading clubs in the East Philadelphia and on the road (114-109). No matter how hard Joel Embiid tried, Devin Booker always found something to answer. The Sunnys will face another serious test in the face of the reigning champion Milwaukee, however, the game will be held at home.
The Knicks went on a four-game losing streak again. The last time when the wards of Tom Thibodeau managed to win was in early February, when they defeated Sacramento (96:116). However, after that they had very strong rivals. Beating Denver (115:132) or the Lakers (115:122) is not easy. Despite the recent setbacks, the “knickerbockers” continue to fight for a place in the play-in. So far they are ranked 12th in the East. Two victories separate them from the tenth line. It’s not that much. Want more up-to-date basketball betting picks and stay informed? Subscribe to updates of the best sports betting sites rating Odds2Win.
